Question Help! I just got my Disney luggage...

I need advice from anyone that has traveled with the disneyshopping.com luggage since the size restrictions have been enforced. I just got mine and I had planned to check the bigger suitcase and use the smaller one as my carry on with the tote as my personal item. I am traveling on the dreadded American. The dimensions given on the web site are a little smaller than actual. Has anyone used the smaller suitcase as a carry on? I would really hate it if they made me check it.

Hi There!

I just received the luggage I ordered on disneyshopping.com and I beleive that the smaller of the two suitcases will not be allowed as a carry-on. I have yet to use my luggage (I don't leave for 8 days) but it is the same size that my father used on our trip in May and he was forced to check it because it was deemed too big to be a carry-on. Just thought I'd share. Sorry, I have added that we flew Air Tran.

Great Question! Which set do you have? I have the charcoal set from the outlet. I'd love to hear what people have to say. I may consider using the small one as a carry on also.

The smaller one fits as a carry on for Southwest, but they have a pretty generous allowance for size for carry-on.

Looks like mine comes in under Northwest's restrictions:

Cannot exceed 45 linear inches (9 inches by 14 inches by 22 inches)

We have two sets of Mickey luggage and we have used both of our smaller ones as carry- ons without any problem. I have flown NW, SW and Delta and carried the smaller one on.

I have the new set that comes in black, blue or red. Its really cute, I just hope I get to take it on. It would be within the 45" limit if not for the wheels and legs.

If it is the Paintbrush Mickey set I just used the smaller one as a carryon as well for Southwest and didn't have a problem, but it may depend on the airline. I do know that on one part of my trip we had an older plane and we had to adjust a bit to get it to fit without having to turn it around. So it could also depend on the plane.
