Got in at 230am today. Currently on hold with Disney. Anyone else have this happen?
Thanks
Edited to note that I am home. We are DVC, we WDW at least once a year and never dared to use DME in the past because I was afraid of exactly this. We took Happy Limo from MCO to the resort. So we are 0 for 1.
It's most likely due to the airline. Southwest has lost our bags before (as have other airlines). Fortunately, misdirected bags typically show up the next day. Make sure you're in communication with SWA as well as Disney's Resort Airline Check-in about this.Got home at 230am today. Currently on hold with Disney. Anyone else have this happen?

Very well explained! Hope it never happens, but unfortunately bags are lost! That's where trip insurance cones in VERY HANDY! Hope you get your bag back! If you have Travelex insurance through DVC, contact them.Many people think DME handles your luggage checkin at the resort for the trip home. It does not. RAC (resort airline checkin) handles it. Think of it as curbside service, but the curb is a long way away!!
A missing bag claim should be made at the airport before you leave there. If your luggage doesn't make it out, on the baggage carousel, you should speak to airline personnel, giving them the claim receipt info. Disney really has nothing to do with your luggage when heading home.
Could RAC have misdirected it? Possibly. You could call them and start a conversation.
Good advice here from DebbieB. Do your baggage claim checks show the correct names and home airport? It's possible when you checked your bags at the RAC desk at your resort that they mixed up your bag tags with someone elses.Does the bag check receipt show your correct information? RAC tags your luggage and then loads it onto trucks out to the airport. They are then turned over to the airline. How long before flight time did you check it?
I know that now!!
