If you haven't recieved your package two weeks before your arrival make sure you call to confirm you're in the system!

Here's a little blurb i copied at one point and I'm glad I did:

If you haven't received luggage tags, double-check that you are in the Magical Express system, or have your travel agent do so. The number to call is (866) 599-0951. Disney's Magical Express requires a reservation that must be selected prior to arrival into Orlando International Airport. Disney will not be able to provide this service to guests without an advance reservation for Disney's Magical Express.

We didn't recieve our tags, called and for some reason we weren't in the system. However they shipped them out right away (via courier to Canada which was awesome) and we received them the next day.

Our ME experience last year was really good. we arrived at 7:15 pm. we did have to wait 15 minutes before the bus left. The bags were delivered to our room before midnight, but we had packed our essentials and contingency 1st day clothes in a carry on so it was no big deal. The kids loved the ME -- much more than a taxi, so it was totally worth it and we're going to do it again in 4 days. The only change we made for our return trip last year was to book a car, because our flight was 6 am and we were able to get an extra hours sleep that way.
