Maybe it's gonna be an additional monorail then?

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!

The reason you had to do this in the past was you were mixing with out going passengers in a 'sterile' security area. Now we don't do this, then I suppose it is considered safe. We have been doing this in Tampa for years now.

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.

It would appear its for anyone, this is the reply I got to my email.

Thank you for contacting Orlando International Airport.


Correct! Returning your baggage to the baggage belt to have it transferred to the Main Terminal is now optional. Rolling bags and those small enough to carry may now be kept with you.


Enjoy your stay!

That is of course for those using Terminal B.

Those using Terminal A(which has no immigration/customs facilities and is used for indirect flights from UK on some airlines)

still have the same procedure i.e. shuttle to main airport and pick up baggage there.

I assume the Disney rail link will serve both terminals?

I caught this thread just by chance.
Brilliant news, I will try it out on Friday

On your web site you say at one point

International Only: After clearing Customs, place your baggage on the baggage belt and it will be transported to the Main Terminal.
Proceed up the escalator to the Departures Level (Level 3) where you will pass through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security checkpoint before entering the hub of the Airside Terminal.

I understand that this may have changed?

Reports mention that if you have a wheeled case you can now take your baggage direct onto the train to the main terminal, and not have to place it on the baggage belt.

Can you confirm this is now correct please?

back again and very good new arrangements at MCO now.
After immigration, worst unfriendly guy we have ever had!

pick up bags and then go up the NEW escalator WITH them

dirfect onto the platfrom for the shuttle train, fantastic. Then straight down to the car rentals.

Now....... if only they could sort out the security screening on the way back. I kn ow itrs essential but so much hastle,
