What happens if your flight lands in orlando after 10:30pm and you are taking the magical express?

Does it still operate?
Do a few buses just go around to all different resorts for those arriving from late flights?

Thank you!

Yes magical express does operate as long as there are flights coming in. the only thing you wont be able to take advantage of is the luggage to the hotel feature

Exactly! No worries ... if there are still flights landing, they will be there to take you to your resort.

For late flights though, you have to grab your luggage and take it with you, it won't be automatically delivered. Probably best though, there used to be stories of getting woken up at 2am with a luggage delivery!

It does still operate but at reduced speed. Our flights were delayed and we landed about midnight. We only had carry-on bags so we headed right to Magical Express. They put us right on the bus but it waited 45 minutes at the airport to pick up more people. I think there were about 4 buses being loaded. Each stopped at about 4 resorts on different routes. If you are lucky and your bus fills quickly, it'll be fine. We landed at midnight and didn't get into our Port Orleans room until 2:30 due to the long wait at the airport.

This was very similar to our experience with a late night arrival. Our bus did not move until it was completely full and, then, well after midnight, our bus driver wanted everyone on board to be chipper and cheerful - I'm talking about en masse greetings of "Good morning" that need to be repeated if they were not cheerful and loud enough - not ordinary pleasantries!!
