Hi John!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel. It sounds like you are getting ready for an incredible Walt Disney World Resort vacation and I'm so excited to help you with your plans. It sounds like you and I have similar ideas about how to end a vacation because when I make our flight arrangements for our trips, I like to schedule our flights so we can enjoy ever bit of magic possible.
When you are departing Walt Disney World Resort later in the day, there are quite a few options available to ensure that you can enjoy your day before you head home. If you are staying at one of the Disney Resort hotels and flying one of the participating airlines, then you can take advantage of
Resort Airline Check-In, which will allow you to check into your flight and check your luggage right from your Disney Resort hotel. I love using this service because once you check-out of our hotel, you can take care of all of your flight details, including your boarding passes and your luggage, so that once you get to the airport, you can skip the ticket counter and head straight to airport security!
If you have carry-on luggage that you don't want to check or if you cannot take advantage of the Resort Airline Check-In service, then Bell Services can securely check your bags once you check-out of your hotel. From there, you are free to head into a theme park to enjoy your favorite attractions one last time, explore the Disney Resort hotels or check out Disney Springs before you catch
Disney's Magical Express to head to the airport!
Let us know if you have additional questions as you continue panning your vacation. T-T-F-N, ta ta for now!
