Hello William, and welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel with a great planning question.
You are visiting the Walt Disney World Resort at one of my favorite times of the year. I love spending the holiday season there. The decorations in the parks and the resort hotels inspire me to up my holiday decorations around my house.
Disney’s Magical Express is the best way to start off your magical vacation. You can contact Magical Express to send you additional yellow luggage tags at 866-599-0951. You will need to give the team your reservation and flight information as well as how many luggage tags you will need.
If your extra tags do not reach you in time, Hakuna Matata. Disney’s Magical Express will still be able to pick up all of your bags, even if you have more than one per person. When you arrive at Orlando International Airport and make your way to the Magical Express Welcome Center in the Ground Transportation Area on Side B, Level 1. Advise the Cast Member who checks you in that you have extra luggage that did not have a yellow tag on it. They will ask to see all of your bag claim tickets and proceed to enter that information in the system. Disney’s Magical Express team will take it from there. Take it from me, an over packer who always has at least 2 checked bags, it works.
When it’s time for your return flight home, you can use
Resort Airline Check-In Service, if you are flying a participating airline. If your airline does not participate, it will be your responsibility to bring your luggage to the motorcoach for your return trip to the airport. Have a wonderful trip.
See ya real soon,
Andrea
