Confused...Spirit Airlines....& Using ME

[bellenbuzz]

HELP!
Looking to fly Spirit, and nervous because I hear so many pros & cons on this carrier...
Price & times for flights are the best for our dates though & only carrier that flies non-stop for our dates etc...

Not sure on how "Participating Airline" works with ME.....If Spirit isn't part of that then we can't use ME ???

PLEASE let me know the deal with this !! Need clarification

THANKS SO MUCH

You can still ride the bus from airport to resort but I believe you have to claim your own bags and take to the bus, Disney doesn't handle luggage from non-participating airlines.

They will pickup bags at MCO from any airline and deliver them to your room. Where participating airline comes into play is for the return to MCO. You can only check bags at the resort for participating airlines. For Spirit, on the return you would have to take your bags to the bus and check them in at the airport.

The first part of that is correct. You can use Disney's Magical Express airport transportation with ANY airline at Orlando International Airport.

The second part of that is not correct. For your inbound travel, you can let Disney deliver your bags to your room if you arrive on ANY airline at Orlando International Airport (except for arrivals after 10 p.m.).

For your outbound travel, you just cannot use Resort Airline Check-in if you airline does not participate. You can still have the DME driver handle your luggage on the motor coach.

Exactly

No worries OP - You can still use the Magical Express & the luggage delivery! The only thing you will have to do is take your bags on the bus with you back to the airport on departure day and check in there (cant do it at the resort).
