Did I see that this service is ending at the end of 2021? And luggage isn't delivered to the hotel for you anymore? Is there a source to read about why these changes are being made?

Hope this helps.Understanding Why Disney's Magical Express Is Ending
Throughout the first 30 years of Walt Disney World's (WDW) existence, WDW Guests paid for their own transportation from Orlando International Airport to WDW. This model worked for decades. Hotel occupancy remained high and corporate Disney built more hotels to meet ever increasing demand...forums.wdwmagic.com
That turned out to be incorrect reporting, the company is still operating. I don’t know whether you can book the service direct to a WDW resort or not, but they are seemingly still providing the same service to private residences at least.The company that handled the luggage, Bags Inc also went bankrupt last year.
I'm out of the loop on this one. I'm using Magical Express in November. Do I have to get my own luggage first? Or can it still be delivered to my room?
Not really an issue either way. I just need to know if I need to stop by baggage claim first before heading to the bus.
Yes, you have to stop at baggage claim first and take it with you to the bus.I'm out of the loop on this one. I'm using Magical Express in November. Do I have to get my own luggage first? Or can it still be delivered to my room?

You are correct. They had massive layoffs in Oct 2020 which affected them servicing Disney as they had pre-COVID.That turned out to be incorrect reporting, the company is still operating.
