Disney's Magical Express
Disney hotels offer Disney's Magical Express service to check your bags at their hometown airport, bypass baggage claim at Orlando International Airport (MCO) and board a motor coach to the Walt Disney World Resort. Your bags "magically" appear in your room sometime that day. The round-trip service is complimentary.
Visit our Disney's Magical Express/Resort Airline Check-in page HERE for more info.
Most recent reviews of Magical Express are positive, however be prepared to not have your luggage in your hotel room for several hours!

If you are flying out with any *participating* airline you can avoid airport check-in lines on domestic flights by checking your luggage and receive a boarding pass before ever departing your Disney hotel. Pickup from your Disney hotel returning to the airport will be made 3.5 hours prior to your flight time.
This service is available for Disney Vacation Club Members.
Disney's Magical Express service is not available to guests of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels, Shades of Green, or the seven hotels near Hotel Plaza Boulevard.
Taxi
Outside the baggage handling area is also the Taxi service. Cabs/vans arrive and take guests as they come in… so no telling what "company" you will get. Groups of 4 or more may get a taxi van. The price was the same for 2 adults as it was for 4; approximately $55 one way for the ride (plus gratuity) to most Disney hotels; add $10 for Disney hotels in the Magic Kingdom resort area.
Rental Car
Rental cars are another viable option for ground transportation in Orlando. At the Orlando International airport you will find companies both oniste and off site (shuttle ride required). At the airport itself you will find National, Alamo, Dollar, Avis, Budget and L&M. For all others hop on the shuttle.
At Walt Disney World you will find two locations for National/Alamo – one at the Car Care Center near the Magic Kingdom, the other off the main lobby in the Dolphin hotel.
