No, the only thing that is different is you can't check your luggage in at the resort and get boarding passes for the return. You have to carry your luggage to the bus for the return trip to the airport. Otherwise, everything is the same. They will pickup your luggage at the airport when you arrive, deliver it to the room and you ride the bus. On the return, you take the luggage to the bus, it is loaded underneath, you ride the bus to the airport and check in your luggage at the airport and get your boarding passes yourself. If your airline is on the participating list, you check in your luggage at the resort and don't see it again until your home airport baggage claim.
