Magical Express - late check in

Actually, I don't think you do need to be present for luggage delivery. DH and I were in the parks last year when our luggage was delivered.

That makes me so jealous. When they called and said they were bringing our luggage up I asked if we had to be there and they said yes. So we stuck around. I will let them know next time no we will not be here! So good to know.

You do not have to be present for you luggage to be delivered.

Yea! Now that I know I don't have to be in the room, I definitely use ME. And I'm doing the as my big ticket item sold on eBay. So I called and was able to get a 5:45pm at Crystal Palace the night of our MVMCP.

Thanks for everyone's input!

O, what fun. Gotta love ebay when it works out!

It was great timing too, I didn't even have to call them! We were literally sitting at the computer pondering our itinerary, etc. The phone rings and it is Disney MGM Studios! I'm like whoohoo, I must have won something! But they just had to change my ADR time for the Fantasmic Dinner Pkg b/c of an earlier closing or something.

So I very nicely as can be asked if it would be at all possible to check a few others, and she was so nice. I think it was only her job that day to do the call backs.

So I got the Crystal Palace and decided to divert my budget from Rainforest to Liberty Tree Tavern for lunch on another day. 1. LTT was my mom's first pick, but wasn't available for the MVMCP. 2. We have a Rainforest in Atlantic City, about 40 min from me so we've been a few times this year. I also have the Safari club, so if some extra $$ shows up in the budget I can get a seat w/ not a terrible long wait (hopefully )...I've never actually used it down there. But in A.C. it is great, walk up with people waiting 2 hours and get a seat w/in 30 minutes. Well worth the $15 membership. Especially since you get a $10 GC back!

Our last three trips we used ME and arrived late in the evening. We usually and around 10:30pm and it is very nice to just walk off the plane and take the kids and get on the bus. I pack jammies and the next days cloths in a carry on. They will deliver your luggage unless you tell them that you want it held until the morning. My mom and dad forgot to tell them on one of our trips and they knocked on the door around 2:30 in the morning. You do not need to be in the room for them to deliver your luggage. We usually get up and shower and go eat breakfast. When we leave for breakfast we call and tell them to deliver our luggage. Most of the time it is in the room when we return from breakfast. If it is not we just leave and head to the parks. ME is fantastic. We have used them 7 times and never had a problem.

Jammies! Thanks, I would have never remembered to pack them in the carry on!

Thanks everyone. I feel much less intimidated now that I know more about the process.

Now the hard part, waiting to go!
