Airport Luggage Delivery to Your Hotel Is Returning to Disney World
In April 2025, getting your bags to the airport got a lot easier for some Disney World guests. Just in time for your Thanksgiving trip, the popular partner service that sent your bags from the airport directly to your resort is also making a comeback! Right now, the service is limited to domestic Southwest Airlines passengers staying at participating Disney World resorts and flying into Orlando International Airport (MCO). This is a similar limitation to the current Airport Luggage Transfer service.
As with the renewed Airport Luggage Transfer, the new checked bag resort delivery service may have some tweaks compared to the now-discontinued pre-pandemic version, and we don’t yet have all the details. (We’ll update here as they come in). What we do know: first, the service begins on November 18, 2025. Second, eligible guests are being notified directly by email, so if you’re arriving on Southwest on or after November 18, check your spam folder. Text of the Guest Email Invitation includes a registration link and the following:
This convenient service lets you skip baggage claim and have your checked luggage delivered directly to your Disney Resort hotel. The service will begin operating for flights arriving November 18, 2025 or later. If you’d like to take advantage of the service, your registration window opens 30 days prior to departure and closes 5 days prior to departure.
The existing Airport Luggage Transfer is not only limited to Southwest Airlines fliers, but also to guests at Value Resorts. This new checked-bag delivery service is also limited to Southwest arrivals on domestic flights. But we don’t know yet if it is also only for Value Resorts, or if it includes additional Disney World hotels.
As with Airport Luggage Transfer, we still expect this to expand to additional airlines and resorts. But given the extensive gap between the April debut of luggage transfer and any further expansion, it seems clear that Disney is slow-walking these rollouts for now.

Are there the usual Southwest baggage fees and how many bags per person are permitted. If fees, when are the fees collected.
Hi Jeff, we don’t have a lot of info right now, but I would assume that the fees and baggage restrictions are as usual. This is just about what happens to your bags when they get off the plane in Orlando, not about what happens when you check them at the beginning of your flight.
Did you actually mean November 18 2026 and not 2025
I did, thanks. Fixed!
