| Disney Begins New Service for Luggage
Walt Disney World's new luggage delivery service, which saves travelers the hassle of checking bags at the airport, is the wave of the future, travel industry experts say.The system, which has the blessings of the new federal airport security watchdog agency, in essence extends the arm of the federal bag-checking system to hotel lobbies. It kicked off officially Thursday for hotel guests at the Disney resort.Both the Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Rep. John Mica, who chairs the House Aviation Subcommittee, support the concept of securing bags away from airports and having TSA-approved control of the bags to and from airports.In the Disney program, called Magical Express, Disney resort guests take their bags to their hometown airport as usual for the flight to Orlando. Disney then picks up the bags at Orlando International Airport and hauls them directly to the guest's hotel room.
