Luggage on Magical Express?

[nicnic]

Hi, we are traveling from the UK and staying at a Disney hotel.

We usually just get the coach transfer included in our package but they are charging now for it so we were going to take advantage of the magical express.

My question is that being from the uk we will not have the correct luggage tags, is this a problem and can we collect our luggage and take it on board the ME buss with us?.

Thanks

Not a problem - claim your own luggage and take it with you to the bus, they will place it under the bus that you are on and take it with you to the resort.

Great, thanks for that.
Didn't fancy having no change of clothes after a 3 hour drive to the airport then a 10 hour flight!
I know most take carry on with change of clothes but we have so much carry on to start with!

Yup, not a problem at all. They'll even load and unload it for you, but understand that they're not Disney cast members (they work for Mears), and as such, are sometimes less than "magical." They are very, very forward about wanting to be tipped.

We haved used the Magical Express service at least a dozen times and have never had any employee be very forward about wanting to be tipped. The people have always been very professional.

I've also always dealt with very professional DME CMs. They never insisted on getting tipped and were always very nice and "Disney-like" to myself and my party.
