A Free Hotel Luggage Perk DISAPPEARED from Disney World and We’re Still Not Over It
Perks at Disney World are a great thing, right?
Suitcases at Disney World
We love a good Disney World hotel perk whether it is early entry into the parks, discounts on merch or food, or even more. That reminds us of the perks that we’ve lost over the past years, specifically of one free hotel luggage perk that disappeared from Disney World and how we’re still not over it!
What was the perk we were talking about? Great question. So, it was one of the lesser-known perks you used to get at the Disney World hotels — the humble luggage scale. In the grand scheme of things, it was a small perk, but boy was it handy. It’s been gone for a while, and honestly, we’re still not over it.

So what’s the deal with this perk? Well, picture this. You’ve spent a whole week at Disney World and you’ve bought all kinds of souvenirs (ears, pins, plushies, and maybe even a droid from Galaxy’s Edge), and now your suitcase is looking like it’s bursting at the seams.

Now, the last thing we need is a surprise at the airport like an overweight luggage fee. This is where the luggage scale at the resort came in handy because it allowed you to weigh your bags before heading to the airport, which ultimately spared you from having to shuffle stuff around in front of a line of impatient travelers.

But nowadays you won’t find the scales as they have vanished right along with the resort airline check-in counters. In case you missed it, Disney World used to have these counters where you could check your luggage right there at the hotel. It was kind of like a TSA pre-check. They’d even take your luggage to the airport for you. Alas, those days are gone, and with them, the luggage scales.

So what are we to do now? You could try the old “hold your luggage and step on the bathroom scale” trick, but maybe a lot of us don’t want to know our weight after all the vacation churros. Plus, bathroom scales aren’t exactly the most precise for weighing our suitcases.

A better thing to do is to pack a portable luggage scale like this one you can find on Amazon. It’ll take out all of the guesswork.

While it’s not the same as the hotel scale, it’ll save you some stress and potentially some money.
Also, who knows? Maybe one day Disney World will bring back the scales and the resort airline check-in, and we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief.
