I know that it hasnt started yet but by the time that it does I will be in Disney. I am going to Disney at the end of May and wanted to know which airlines will take your luggage to the Disney Magical Express? Is it going to be all of them, does Southwest or American have this in their plans? Any help will be great, thank you.

I heard about this...Disney has their own busses from MCO to WDW? It's a great idea. Can y'all tell me more about it?

its not only transportation they actually will take your bags to the hotel room right from the airport you dont even have to go to the baggage claim that is my favorite part. your boarding passes will actually be at the hotel for when you leave too, so you dont need to check in at the airport.

Participating airlines (to get your luggage all the way to the hotel I believe) are American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Song, United Airlines and Ted.

Off topic in a way: According to a United pilot which we had a nice 2 hour conversation with, USAir and Delta are still in hot water. He said that United will most likely clear bankruptcy by mid 2005. Definately a smart move to start the Ted division.
This new system will certainly cause companies like Mears to lose customers. Hopefully the Disney transportation will be prompt. Considering that the bus may have to make mulitple stops, I would probably prefer using Mears still just to have the convenience of a one way stop.

Annalists are predicting that one or two airlines will go under this year. USair is the most vulnerable airline at this moment - A clearer picture of their fate will come this Thursday - and may be inevitable. Delta is also having trouble and Continental is not looking the that great either.
The problem annalists are saying is that too many airlines are offer too many cheap seats. Many airlines are selling most of their seats at a lost, slowly bleeding themselves to death.
The problem with people that use Philadelphia Internation Airport is that USair holds about 70 to 80 percent of the gates in the airport. The only other airline that runs non-stop to MCO is Air Tran. Unfortunatly, anyone who uses the PHL well not be able to use the "Express" services unless they get a connecting flight. Althought, based on the information I got from Disney Sunday night they stated that even if you don't use the particapating airlines, the transportation to and from Disney is complimentory. I don't see a point in going from a non-stop 2 1/2 flight to a 6 hour travel hop across the country just so I don't have to wait for my bags at the airport.

i'm looking foward to trying this...curious to see the difference between taking the Mears shuttle
Computer MAgic- I will be going just about the same time as you guys, I think that our trip is going to be for the 21st. We are both graduating from college and my sister from high school so we have to work around those, but the 21st we will probably be at ohare....although I live 10 minutes from midway.

You're right that USAirways holds the vast majority of gates, but now Southwest and American offer direct flights to MCO.

Don't be sorry for me - I love JetBlue so much I'd gladly carry my bags on my head instead of fly anyone else. Their employees are more magical on average than some Disney employees these days, it's the most comfortable I've ever been without spending my life savings for first class, and there is just something calming about the color blue...
However, many people seem to be confused - and I think AllEars has it set straight. If you are not on one of the "sponsored" airlines, then you just won't be able to get the boarding passes at Disney, and you will have to pick up your own luggage. That's what the sponsoring airlines are doing.
But EVERYONE can use the shuttle service. So, actually, that's fine by me - I usually only have one checked in bag, and it's on wheels, so shlepping it to the shuttle isn't that big of a deal. And, no worries about Disney losing it, when will it get up to my room, etc. Actually, even if I did fly one of the affiliated airlines...I might just choose to do it myself anyway.
Let's also remember this program is still five months out - who knows who will sign up by then. I assume they all will, eventually - no company that flies to Orlando isn't going to want to be Disney-approved.

From what I understand, at this point, only domestic flights will have this perk, correct? The international flights aren't affected?
