Although, with Magical Express, Disney handles all the luggage and brings it right to the Stateroom, and then picks it back up the night before we arrive at Los Angeles. We had all kinds of crap for our honeymoon, and it wasn't a nuisance at all.

I don't let my luggage out of my sight since it is usually worth more than I am, but that isn't difficult since I hardly ever travel (no matter how long) with more than can fit in a large gym bag.

But regardless, I was just raising the issue (we went with a couple that pretty much brought their home with them and it made for a crowded stateroom). But as we all know, definitions of nuisance vary.

Nobody today travels like they did in the golden age of travel. For example: Mrs Charlotte Wardle Cardeza, first class passenger, boarded the Titanic with fourteen trunks, four suitcases and three crates of baggage. Her luggage included 32 pairs of shoes, 15 rings, 84 pairs of gloves, a black lace gown valued at $900, and inumerable hats - laces - hair ornaments - parasols - necklaces etc. We know all this because she filled a detailed insurance claim for her lost possessions that is over 18 pages long. And she was far from the most encumbered traveler on board!

And I bet she never touched one of those bags or even unpacked them in her room. Even with Magical Express, that is hardly the truth these days.
