Onboard Airline checkin....

[steves100]

Have never used Disney transportation.

We are on our April cruise. Where is the list of airports that Disney works with, I cant find the list anywhere.

If my airline is on the list does that mean we dont need to see our luggage once we put it in the hall till we get to our home airport?

Thanks

Steve

To further clarify the airport call sign is MCO for Orlando International Airport. Disney will not transfer you to another airport.

Nope. They did a trial run and decided against it. No reasons were given.

So how does it work then? Do I have to get luggage to the bus?

If you're flying SouthWest, yes. You leave your bags outside your room onboard the last night. DCL will get it off the ship and into the terminal, so you don't have to wrangle it over breakfast and off the ship. You then claim your bags in the terminal and carry them through customs/immigration.

If you're using DCL transfers, you will then hand off your bags to the bus driver, and they will be placed beneath the bus for the tip to the airport. At the airport, you claim you bags and check them in when you check in for your flight, or with the curbside baggage check.
