Flying can be a bit stressful, but once you’re on the plane, the only thing you have to do is sit back and wait to get to your destination.

You may choose to pass the time by doing some work, listening to music on your phone, or maybe you love to catch up on a movie or two you missed when it came out! If you’re flying Southwest this month, here are the new additions you can check out while airborne.
Dear Disney World, it breaks my heart to make this confession, but I need to come clean.
I’ve been cheating on you. Yes, I know you are The Most Magical Place on Earth, and I’ve been trying to visit you regularly, but something has changed. You see, I’ve been flying to the West Coast to visit your smaller, yet older relative, the Happiest Place on Earth. Yes, I’ve been visiting Disneyland instead. But hear me out: I have my reasons: it’s not you, it’s me.
There are so many airlines to choose from when planning your Disney World vacation. One popular airline, which is also one of the largest airlines at Orlando International Airport, is Southwest Airlines. We love their checked bag allowance and their special change and cancellation policy. However, we also know the airline has had some struggles recently.Â
Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines has had its fair share of problems, including mass cancellations that occurred in December 2022 and, more recently, delaying over 50% of their flights at the Orlando International Airport on March 9th, 2024. Well, if you have been affected by a Southwest Airlines delay or cancelation, listen up!
Traveling to Disney World from Orlando Airport seems like it would be a piece of cake, but it can be trickier than you think sometimes.
Mears Connect
If you’re not renting a car (which can be hard on its own), you may be taking Mears Connect to the parks, or booking a rideshare. We’ve traveled between these two locations more than we can count, so allow us to share some of the problems we’ve run into, so you can avoid them!

Southwest Airlines at the Orlando Airport
The airline offers a LOT of nonstop flights to Orlando International Airport, after all, and that gets us to Disney World faster, right? You can also occasionally get some really good deals on airfare from Southwest, too. Plus who doesn’t love the whole “two free checked bags” policy that really makes Southwest stand out from the competition? However, Southwest’s boarding process has proved to be controversial — but that process could be changing SOON.

Fortunately, a new law was recently passed that will help alleviate SOME of the stress of delayed and canceled flights.
