Hey All...
Just a head's up.
I just called to add a day to my trip next week
and needed to change my DME arrival information accordingly.
I very rarely fly Southwest, but had a huge credit due to my son changing a bunch of flights he had scheduled for the upcoming year. So, I used these.
Typically, I fly JetBlue which participates in the resort check-in, etc.
Anyway - my departure information did not need to be changed and I was aware that I would not be able to check my luggage at the hotel upon departure.
However, when I asked the CM to change my flight info for my arrival - she told me: "Southwest is not a participating airline. You will have to retrieve your luggage yourself and then proceed to the Welcome Center."
I questioned her on this (because it didn't make sense to me).
She again confirmed this. I had my doubts (being a very frequent WDW visitor - 5 visits last year) and came right here to check on it.
I am going to call WDW back to confirm my date change on my DME ressie. However, I'm posting this to all those who may be told incorrect info by a CM.
Anyone can utilize the luggage transfer on arrival (as long as a reservation with DME is made). Only those flying on participating airlines may utilize the luggage transfer service upon departure.
