wtpclc said:My guess is that they will model teh way DCL does it. We had not problem with this last year. They picked us up and our luggage met us a little later. We got to WDW quicker, because we did not have to wait for our luggage, although DH wished hew ahd packed his short in his carry on!
The day we were to go to the ship they took our luggage from our hotel room right to our cabin. Everything went incredibly smoothly and I did not hear about any problems. I'd take them up on it in a heartbeat!

Magical Express is transportation between Orlando International Airport and Disney-owned resort hotels (including the on-site DVC properties). You can check your luggage from your home airport to your resort room! And it's all complimentary.Tom and Jen said:I am sorry, i have been out of the loop. could you tell me what Magical Express is?

If I'm reading it correctly, it sounds as if anyone can use the return for baggage only if you're flying with one of the carriers who has signed on.
Nope. According to the Disney Travel Agent FAQ (see the link Horace so nicely posted), there is no "luggage-only" option. I suspect this is to prohibit doing exactly what you propose, as - IMHO - one of the big reasons behind ME is to keep more people "captive" on-site, thus capturing virtually all of their meal / dining / bottled water / entertainment dollars.BCV23 said:I understand that.
My point is that you can use it for baggage only.....that is just baggage. You don't have to take the ride!
We always rent a car and can not imagine not doing so. So being able to check the baggage at our WDW resort sounds very nice.
Sorry my post wasn't clearer.
Yes. I'm reading it the same way. From the Travel Agent FAQ:BCV23 said:Thanks for posting the FAQs, Horace.
