Posted
Starting in May, the Walt Disney World resort will begin offering a service that lets visitors on domestic flights, staying at Disney hotels, check their luggage at their hometown airports and bypass waiting at the luggage carousel at Orlando International Airport.

wow....yet another Disney perk. but like the article says, I wonder how much it'll cost after the initial free period.
Nice perk for huge families, I see this as a huge blow to Universal, since many times people won't spring to deal with a taxi to go to somewhere else. I actually read about this idea a year and a half ago, something jim hill put up.
I think it's a neat perk. Not that it's a big deal (usually) to pick up your bags, but to have them delivered to your room is nice. Getting the boarding pass and checking your luggage before leaving the resort is nice too.
Also, they are fogetting to metion that the service also includes a bus ride in new motorcoaches to the parks that reduces the time from the airport to the hotel in half, as compared to going on Mears.
I have just returned from spending the holidays in London. Virgin Atlantic was pushing this for international passengers as well. For $5, you can check-in to you Virgin flight and leave your bags.
Not a bad deal. Especially as an international traveler.
If your luggage is lost, wouldn't you want to find out while at the airport, rather than a couple hours later at the hotel?
