You may already know this so I apologise if you do. At Orlando International Airport (MCO) you used to have to put your cases on a belt directly after going through immigration and then pick them up in the terminal building. This is no longer the case, if you have cases with wheels you can take them on the monorail with you.

Wow, that is worth knowing, and certainly makes sense. We got our luggage the first time after 5 minutes but waited nearly an hour for the second baggage reclaim!

We fly into MCO in Feb and this will be a great advantage to us as we arrive quite late. Thanks for the info.

I put mine through last month as I couldn't be bothered wheeling it (bad back), it was there when I went to collect it, flew PE so this helps but it's good to know you can take it with you if you want to.

It's definitely the case (sorry!) - I walked through with my case when I was over last month and saved a lot of trouble as I then went straight to the car rental desk when I arrived at the main terminal.

Well in that case

I will take luggage with me this time as I was thinking of taking hand luggage only and buying a suitcase out there to avoid the wait. They wouldn't let us when we were there in June, but the case was just arriving after we had hired the car

Great news and we may take advantage of this when we fly out on 1 December.

Although, for the first time ever, we were going to take just hand luggage (my husband has been laughing ever since I mnentioned this to him!) to avoid the hassle of the two reclaims.

I'm still tempted to do it just to show my husband that I can be that disciplined when I'm packing ('cos I'll just buy anything extra I need when I'm out there

)

Is there any limit on the size of case/bag you can take on the monorail? We have wheelie bags rather than cases and one of them is pretty long.

Thanks!

Jane

Disney were meant to be having a rail link at one time (a long time ago now so I guess it's not coming any time soon!) instead of their Magical Express coach service from MCO.

It seems when I went through MCO a few weeks ago that if you had just the one case you could take it through but they seemed to be asking families with children to put their cases on the 2nd belt.

But it has been under construction for a while and in July seemed to be finished, leading into the Main Terminal
