Dear Kristine,
The countdown is on and you are just a week away from the experience of a lifetime! In preparation for your journey, we wanted to give you what we think are the top five things to keep in mind while packing your baggage to improve your chances that all of your items make it to Orlando safe and sound!
Be prepared should you have a lost bagPack so that you can continue with the loss of one of your bags. Distribute key items between your luggage such as clothes, underwear and other essentials. Remember-- travel documents, valuables and medication should be in your carry-on luggage.
Put your contact information inside AND outside of every bagRemember to put your name and contact address on the outside of every bag. Also, put the same information plus a copy of your itinerary inside every bag. This will make it easier for the airline to reunite you with your separated luggage, if necessary. You should also do this with your carry-on luggage in case you are forced to check that bag at the last minute.
Do not over-pack your bagsItems that are bulging or are not sufficiently constructed to support the weight inside may split during the trip through the luggage belt system. Also, if your bag is over the weight limit you will have to pay a penalty at the check-in counter.
Make sure the airline tag on your checked luggage is for the correct destination Every piece of checked luggage should have a three-letter airport identifier that should match your final destination airport. The three-letter airport code for Orlando International Airport is MCO. Please make sure that you keep the stub for your checked luggage as well. This stub is a critical document that will be needed if your luggage is lost by the airline or if you are trying to prove that you own a piece of luggage.
If arriving through another U.S. city prior to Orlando, remember to re-check your bags after going through Immigrations and CustomsVery important - All baggage must be re-checked upon arrival to the U.S. if arriving to another U.S. city prior to Orlando. Baggage that is not re-checked will not be sent on to Orlando and can result in your baggage being lost or sent to you with a transfer fee.
You should also be aware of any government regulations regarding baggage and refer to your specific airlines travel requirements to learn more about carry-on luggage sizes and airport check-in information. Please be sure to arrive early to the airport to help ensure that all goes well with getting your journey started.
We look forward to seeing you, and have a safe trip!

Sincerely, Walt Disney World International Recruitment
