Walt Disney World is making vacation travel even more convenient with a significant expansion of its Airport Luggage Transfer service. Starting May 19, guests flying on American Airlines and United Airlines will be able to take advantage of this popular offering, joining Southwest Airlines passengers who already have access to the service.
The expanded service covers both arriving and departing domestic flights through Orlando International Airport (MCO) for guests staying at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels. This enhancement means travelers on three major carriers can now enjoy the luxury of having their luggage handled seamlessly between the airport and their Disney resort.
How the Service Benefits Disney Resort Guests
Disney's Airport Luggage Transfer service eliminates the hassle of collecting and transporting luggage, allowing guests to head straight to the magic upon arrival. For departing flights, guests can check their bags at their Disney resort and proceed directly to their gate at MCO, skipping the airport check-in counter entirely.
This service is particularly valuable for families with young children or guests with mobility concerns, as it removes one of the most stressful aspects of air travel. The addition of American Airlines and United Airlines significantly expands the number of guests who can benefit from this convenience, as these carriers operate numerous daily flights to Orlando.
Eligible Hotels and Service Details
The luggage transfer service is available to guests staying at participating Disney Resorts Collection hotels. While Disney has not released specific details about pricing or exact procedures for the expanded service, the existing Southwest Airlines program has been well-received by resort guests.
This expansion demonstrates Disney's continued commitment to enhancing the guest experience through innovative services that streamline vacation logistics. By partnering with additional major airlines, Disney World is making it easier than ever for guests to focus on creating magical memories rather than worrying about luggage management.
