Now, on the way home, you do have to take you luggage to the ME bus, then get it off the ME bus, and take it into the airport and check it yourself. Not a problem, just not quite as easy as the carriers that you can check in at the resort.
It took us about an hour last year from flight landing until we got to POR. If you want to maximize your trip time, I would take the first flight out in the morning. We flew out at 7am last year, and we were in Epcot by 10:30 or so (flying from NC). It was great!! Then we came back to the room midafternoon, and our luggage had arrived. We are doing it again this year.

I would like to say all this same information is about what we had. We stayed at POP, arrived at Orlando airport about 10:30. It was about 11:15 we checked in - room ready. We ate at POP and were in Studios by 12:30. It was great. We went back to the room about 3:30 and bags were there - magically!
We had to take our luggage and check in at the airport for the trip home, but no problems.
If you have a late flight, you may want to get your luggage, as otherwise you won't get it until the morning.
I love ME and the no fuss luggage!
as for Southwest tickets, I've only purchased the wanna get away rate ones. They just mean you don't get a refund if you cancel, you get a credit to use in one year from purchase. I love Southwest and if possible, it's the only airlines I will fly!
