I've used DME about 5 times. I've always received my luggage 1-1 1/2 hours after checking in.
We use Tiffany Towncar as well. We come down the escalator, they there, waiting for us. They grab our bags we are off. Very fast!
We took our carry on luggage with us, and had them take the rest. ME is awesome. We were at our hotel within 90 minutes, maybe a bit less. Our room was not ready, but when it was and we got up there, our luggage was there waiting for us.
My yellow tagged checked bags have always been delivered in less than three hours after arriving and usually they are waiting on me in the room or at the resort before the room is ready for before I am ready to go to my room.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the no longer deliver to your room. is that correct?
Guests who choose to use DME in a way other than described in the terms & conditions and whose luggage gets misdirected by the airline don't get the advantage of having Magical Express act as their agent; claims need to be made within a specified amount of hours.MinnielovesMickey12 said:People will say you are not suppose to do this but ppl do it every day and I have done it too. I let DME take my bags then I go rent a car and drive myself to the resort. We always have a car on vacation and drive ourselves around.

Where does Disney say this? Quote please.

Please note that you cannot reserve the luggage service exclusively. You must be present on the motorcoach to have your luggage transported to a Walt Disney World hotel.
