Have yet not received luggage tags and we leave in 20 days...HELP!!
Call DME and double check to make sure they have you in their system. They still have time to get your stuff out to you.
Have yet not received luggage tags and we leave in 20 days...HELP!!
I will be using the DME for this first time this April. I have been told by some people who used this service before that to make sure my luggage makes it on my bus I should pick it up myself and request it when we arrive at our hotel. Can this be done? I was hoping to avoid having to collect the luggage myself and just hope it arrives within a reasonable amount of time at the resort. Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
on when we flew in on Continental this past weekend, and while we were waiting to meet some family who flew in to the same airport, same flight, but not for Disney, we were at the baggage claim area, and there is one of our bags WITH THE YELLOW TAGS on it going around and around...I said to DH,"why in the world is our bag here, when its supposed to magically appear at our resort" anyway the agent explained mistakes can and do happen. It isn't the first time and won't be the last. Just wanted to add my comment since I have noticed people think it can't happen. I am sure someone would have noticed the mistake if we didn't, and shipped our bag to our resort. Again, it doesn't happen often but can. We are all human.
DME is sending out only one yellow luggage tag per guest now....seems they figured that with the checked luggage fees, most people would be checking one bag now. But, if you find you need more, just call DME and they should send what you need.My sister-in-law just got her luggage tags and received only 4 for her family. What if they have more checked bags than this? Do they have to handle the excess bags themselves? Could she make a copy of the luggage tags on the yellow paper, laminate and attach them? Other ideas? TIA!

IF you don't have time to do this, and it looks like this may be the case, you can head right to the DME counter and give them you luggage claim receipts as well as a description of your bags. I would put something on your bags, a bright ribbon or such, that will stan out from the crowd. That should make it easier for the DME CMs to spot your bags at baggage claim. They will then grab the bags and get them to the resort for you.
Is it correct that flying Southwest is just fine for using DME? I won't have to go get my own bags? The CM that I booked the trip with said that I would have to, but I recieved the yellow tags, so I'm seeking the real truth. LOL
This is a brand new change....just came out about two weeks ago. It would seem that there are some cost cutting measures going into place. DME has always taken your tagged checked luggage for you, no matter what time of day or night. The issue was at the resort level. Some resorts don't have 24 hr luggage service...POP is one. So, if you arrived around midnight, your luggage would get to the resort, but not to your room until the next morning.I know I read different posts that said they do transport it for you that late at night and and some said they didn't. Seems like it changes pretty frequently.
No biggie really, I guess. Probably safer to get it ourselves anyways that late at night.
Thanks for the quick reply!
