Where can I find a list of participating airlines for the resort check in on our return flight?

First, regarding the title of this thread, "ME participating airlines," allow me to point out that Magical Express (ME) is available from Orlando International to WDW and back for passsngers of all airlines (and their luggage). There is no participating airlines list for ME.

There is only a participating airlines list for Resort Airline Check-in. But you can use Magical Express without using Resort Airline Check-in, and you can use Resort Airline Check-in without using Magical Express.

Now, in answer to the actual question, according to the Disney Meetings website Disney's Magical Express FAQs:

Q: What is Resort Airline Check-in?

A: This service offers remote check-in, allowing you to check your luggage and receive your airline boarding pass at the Resort. At this time, remote check-in service is only available for guests flying domestically on the following airlines: American, Continental, Delta (including Song), and United (including Ted). Additional airlines may be added at a later date.​

When traveling to WDW, you can check your luggage from your home airport directly to your WDW resort hotel, regardless of airline. (It gets a little more complicated for international visitors who need to pass through U.S. Customs and Imigration at Orlando International.)

If you aren't on a Resort Airline Check-in participating airline, your luggage can travel back to the airport in the luggage hold of the ME motorcoach. Once at the airport, you can check your bags and get your boarding pass.

It is likely that Jet Blue and NW will shortly be available for resort check in.

I am currently flying United Airlines via US Air. Would this be included in Resort Check-In?

I've been told no on US Air but don't know for sure.

I assume that "United Airlines via US Air" refers to a codeshare flight -- but I'm not sure if you mean a flight operated by United that also has a US Airways flight number, or a flight operated by US Airways that also has a United flight number.

What matters is who operates the the flight. If the flight is operated by US Airways (US Airways aircraft, crew, and gate agents), then you could not use Resort Airline Check-in.
