Disney is resuming its luggage delivery service for guests staying at select Disney Resort hotels starting TODAY!

This service allows guests to check their luggage directly at the resort for their Southwest Airlines flights departing from Orlando International Airport (MCO), eliminating the need to check bags at the airport and streamlining the departure process. This service was previously available before the COVID-19 pandemic and is now being reintroduced for guests’ convenience.

Here are the details:

How It Works

Save time at the airport by sending your bags ahead to Southwest Airlines. Simply follow these steps:

  1. At the beginning of your stay, check in at your Disney Value Resort hotel and call or visit Luggage Assistance to take advantage of this service. For a smoother experience, leave your inbound Southwest Airlines tags on your bags.
  2. The day before your departure, check in for your Southwest Airlines flight online.
  3. Drop off your bags at Luggage Assistance in the Resort hotel lobby area by the required drop off time. Please be aware that you will need to provide a valid form of photo identification in order to drop off your bags. You can also call Luggage Assistance from your in-room telephone to ask for help with your bags.
  4. Head to the airport, skip the check-in line, enjoy your flight and pick up your bags at baggage claim when you arrive at your destination.

This service is subject to change or cancellation without notice or liability.
