Disney World, Southwest launch Magical Express test
Walt Disney World has finally reached a deal to add Orlando International Airport's busiest airline to its popular Disney's Magical Express shuttle-and-luggage service — at least on a trial basis.
Beginning today, Disney and Southwest Airlines will launch a pilot program in which guests staying at Disney's Pop Century Resort and flying on Southwest will be able to check in for their flights and drop off their luggage before departing for OIA.
The goal is to eventually expand the service to Southwest passengers staying at other Disney resorts, though a Disney spokeswoman said there is no timetable to do so. "The purpose [of the pilot program] is to see how our systems will work together from a technology standpoint," Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty said.
Every other major domestic airline at OIA already participates in Disney World's remote check-in service.
So, basically... when you check in your luggage before you board your flight, you are doing your Magical Express checkin. This makes the Magical Express even more convenient, you are checked in and ready before your flight TO OIA even takes off....
Almost makes me want to fly some where and then back to Orlando, just to use this service (and the cool audio tracks) _________________ Up or Down North, South, East, or West An Adventurer's Life is Best!
