There is no difference in what airline you use when arriving into MCO. The difference between participating and non participating airlines comes with departure. If the airline is not participating ME is just like a shuttle service -- you take your bags to the bus and then get them when you arrive at the airport and check yourself and baggage in. If your airline does participate then you can check yourself and your bags in at the hotel and not deal with them again until you arrive at your home city.
Unfortunately I don't have the list of which participate and which don't.
There's a listing in the info on Magical Express on the DW site. I know that 2 other airlines are Continental and Jet Blue. I just booked with Jet Blue who is running a sale on flights to MCO
United, Ted, Song, Jetblue, Delta, Continental, and American let you get boarding passes and check bags at the resort for the trip home, flights leaving after around 9 AM. Northwest seems to be on again off again, some folks say they checked homebound baggage for NW too, one source said NW did not fulfill contractual requirements with Disney lately.
Depending on workload, resort desk clerks may be able to print boarding passes for other airlines.
Sorry, I didn't mean to repeat!! I should of looked back through the pages I guess. Which reminds me, how do you do a search on this website? I've read people say "do a search" but I don't see any place to do a search.
