When you're choosing your return flight from Disney and you are using Magical Express - Disney's free transportation to and from the airport - keep in mind that Magical Express will pick you up at your resort approximately 3 hours before your departure time. It sounds rather early but the bus also picks up from more than one resort. It's usually picking up from 3 or 4 resorts.
Last week while in Disney we were picked up by Magical Express at 4:10 p.m. for a 7:15 p.m. flight. But the bus also picked up at the Yacht Club, Disney's Boardwalk Inn and the Caribbean Beach Resort. We arrived at the airport just before 5:30 p.m.
It's a great way to save on car rental if you're not planning to leave Disney property.
We always take one of the last flights out for the day so we can spend that last day enjoying some last-minute park time. That has its advantages and disadvantages.
It's nice to have a good part of your last day in the parks, but our flight was delayed for 2 hours because of thunderstorms here in PA. It made for a long day when we landed just before midnight!
Check back later this week for my review of Disney's Beach Club Resort!
