Bonjour Danielle,
Welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and
merci beaucoup for asking me such an excellent question!
Don’t worry! The fact that you won’t have your MagicBands prior to your departure won’t have any impact on your ability to use
Disney’s Magical Express to get to your Walt Disney World Resort Hotel from Orlando International Airport.
A few weeks before your departure, you’ll be getting a package with your party’s luggage tags, to be used with Disney’s Luggage Delivery Service, if you want to have your luggage delivered straight to your Resort Hotel. In that package, you’ll also have a handy voucher that you’ll be able to use instead of your MagicBand in order to board Disney’s Magical Express.
Please note that, if the hustle and bustle of travelling has led you to misplace your voucher (it has happened to me!), just head to the Disney’s Magical Express counter when you’re ready to board your motorcoach and they’ll check you in.
Thank you again for asking me a question and please don’t hesitate to come back if you have any other questions.
Have a Magical Day!
Lynne
