Do you think SW Airlines reads Disboard?

Just received a Rapid Rewards email from Southwest Airlines

Do you want to checkin online, but don't have access to a printer to print your boarding pass? Don't worry! To make your travel even easier, new functionality has been added to the RAPID CHECK-IN Kiosks found at the airport. If you have a Ticketless reservation and checked in online prior to arriving at the airport, you may use any RAPID CHECK-IN Kiosk to reprint your boarding pass. Getting a boarding pass has never been easier

This is great I was just bumming over the fact that i wouldn't be able to "checkin online" because i wouldn't be able to use a printer for our flight home on the 29th

life is good today - even better with only 9 more days in the count down.

You could also ask the front desk at the resort to print boarding passes for you. We did this for our return trip prior to checking out from VWL in March and it worked wonderfully

Hmmm, I received that email as well and just figured it would make it easier for business travelers who might be able to checkin on their laptop without having access to a printer in the hotel room?

And I imagine SW knew tons about Magical Express before any of us on the DIS did. I imagine WDW was in contact with them about the program for a long time.

In fact, why do you think SW isn't participating? My theory is that it is protecting SW jobs....any other takes?

I just figured that it added either cost or complexity - or both - to SWA's processes; and they're always trying to keep it cheaper by keeping it simple.

Excellent point.

what airline did you use to get the boarding pass at the disney resort?

Southwest allows you to check in online starting at midnight the day of your flight (well night before your flight) Printing out your boarding card (A,B, or C) at home is easy, but when your on the road.... DIsney hotels will print it for you. Just ask at the front desk.
