The additional information is on Disney's and was posted in this thread.

The airports luggage system can't handle present volume. We may see more hotels participate. Inbound luggage is an issue but not as easily solved

Yeah, then get me a damn bus to get to the resort instead of an uber

Buses are available, not free. If airport traffic gets worse Mears buses may get subsidies or the airport fee charged to ride shares may be increased dramatically.

And just like that, a new DIS acronym is born:

ALT (Airport Luggage Transfer)

wow i am SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! To hear this may be coming back! this was a MASSIVE time and logistics saver and we used EVERY TRIP before it disappeared during Covid. and I think it is a win-win for Disney because it gives people more time to stay in the parks knowing they don't have to fight the bag line at the airport, which is more time to spend money lol

Our trip is not until November so hopefully it rolls out site/airline wide after this testing phase.

Bumping this up… just did a google search and there’s been no update on this I can find since when it was first announced. Are they still even trying this out at Pop Century or did they just give up on it?

Where you can't prepay bags, so it's really only available to top end ticket purchasers and credit card holders.

Was so hoping this test would be successful and rolled out to other resorts by now, like before.
I guess, for me, it's like hoping for the Rose and Crown menu to be expanded back to being decent and Citizens of Hollywood performers to return.
Hope you all are having a magical day!
