Disney World Expands Airport Luggage Transfer to Southwest Arrivals, Completing Roundtrip Pilot

New FAQs confirm a Value‑Resorts‑only trial that requires pre‑trip registration with mailed tags for Southwest domestic arrivals.

Overview

  • Arrivals service begins November 18, allowing eligible guests to skip MCO baggage claim and have checked bags delivered to their Disney Resort.
  • Participation is limited to domestic Southwest Airlines flights and five Value Resorts: All‑Star Movies, All‑Star Music, All‑Star Sports, Art of Animation, and Pop Century.
  • Guests must register online 30 to 5 days before travel using their resort and Southwest confirmation numbers; luggage tags are mailed in advance and tracking is provided by email.
  • BagCheck operates the transfer with a target delivery to the resort within about four hours of landing, including guidance for late‑night arrivals.
  • The outbound service continues via in‑resort Luggage Assistance with defined drop‑off deadlines, and no broader expansion beyond the pilot has been announced.
