[clkelley]

I posted this awhile back, but it got buried in another thread, so I thought I would repost as it's own thread.

Participating airline procedure:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Going to WDW

Put your Disney ME luggage tags on your luggage.

Check your luggage at your home airport.

Arrive at MCO

Go to the Disney ME Desk

Get on your bus

Get to your resort

Your bags will be delivered to your room.

Going home from WDW:
Resort Airline Check-In Service at your Disney resort is only available if you are flying domestically (includes Puerto Rico) on the following airlines: American, Continental, Delta (including Song), and United (including TED). It is a complimentary (free) service

Leave your resort room with your bags (or call bell services)

Go to the resort airline desk

Check your bags with them, get your boarding passes

Arrive at the ME loading area at the appropriate time

Get on the ME bus

Arrive at MCO

Go through security

Get on the plane

Your bags should be on the carousel at your home airport

I've read Jet Blue and NW are now participating airlines.

International Guests who clear customers at MCO have to pick up their luggage to clear customs. If they have the ME tags they don't have to pick up their luggage the second time at the carousel.

Depending on the time of your flight you might not be able to use the resort check in. The hours of the desk and the time of your flight might leave too much or too little time.
