VGF & DME bus

[CarolMN]

Does the Magical Express bus drop you off at the Villas building or do you have to get off at the GF?

We'll be arriving at the resort around 8:30 pm and I' m trying to decide if we should let DME handle our bags or take them on the bus with us.

You get dropped off at the main building but the Villas back door entrance isn’t a very long walk from the drop off point.
Sorry, I’m not great at estimating distance but there’s a sidewalk that leads you right there. If your luggage has wheels, it’s super easy.

I wouldn’t want to wait for luggage to be delivered that late at night either

Bell services can take you and your luggage to your room if you wish.

it's about 200 yds (600 ft) from the drop-off spot to the back entrance to VGF. It's fully covered and fully paved, so if you have wheeled luggage, it's not bad at all.

Thanks, all.

Anyone know how late the VGF front desk is available? Is it a 24 hour operation?

Really looking forward to our stay.

VGF has limited hours but the front desk at the main resort is open 24/7.

Like Matty said, the main hotel is 24/7. Not sure about VGF lobby. They are definitely there during normal hours. Not sure after 8 pm. Good news is that main lobby people can help out with everything.

If you have done online check in and you have your magic bands, you do not have to check in at all. You can go straight to your room, which should be ready by that time of day. You should get a text message telling you which room. If you want to do something complicated like set up different credit cards paired to the magic bands of the people in your party, you could stop by the VGF lobby or the main lobby and do that at your convenience.

The luggage delivery is free with DME, and for this reason, you do not have to be in the room when they deliver. No tip is expected unless you just want to.

VGF CM's were there until 10PM, that may have changed. DME luggage delivery, no tip required for bell services because they are tipped a fixed amount per bag within the system, an agreement between Disney and their union. That is why you don't have to be in your room. For other luggage deliveries you have to be in your room so they can collect your tip.

Thanks for asking this question. Our first stay is September and we too will be arriving around 9:00p.
