can I get my own bags from baggage claim if I'm using DME or do they get routed automatically to a designated spot?
If you do not attach the disney luggage ticket they will not know to claim it. Just use the standard boarding pass from your airline. It will then go straight to the queue and out to the claim area.
There are different lines for different groups of resorts. When you check in and show your vouchers, you will be directed to the correct line for your resort. You can take your luggage with you to the bus and the driver will put it on the bottem of the bus. Don't forget to tip the driver at least $1 per bag for handling....and then we can pick them up & proceed to DME? Will it be a problem for them to load on the bus or van or whatever transports us? The family I am meeting is uncomfortable with losing track of their luggage from checking into the airport in OH to hoping it appears in their resort room.
Are the DME buses kind of split us by which resorts they go to - like all the All Stars together, the EPCOT area resorts together, the MK resorts together etc?
Yes, you can pick up your own luggage; just don't attach the DME yellow luggage tags, as stated above.and then we can pick them up & proceed to DME?

The EC stands for Epcot...since you'll be at an Epcot area resort, it will say that. Not sure why the tags have two different notations but I wouldn't worry about it.I have a question about the tags....we are staying at Yacht Club & so are friends of ours & we both recieved our ME tags today & theirs have a "YC" in the Mickey Ears & ours have a "EC". Does anyone know what those initials mean? and why would ours be different than theirs when we are staying at the same place?
I don't think ut really became a tipping issue, I think people here wanted you to have all the facts. If you allow ME to handle your bags, 1. you will probably be at resort faster(luggage claim can take a long time at MCO) and 2. Disney pays all the tips. If you are more comfortable handling your own bags(don't put the yellow ME tags on them)1. It will take you longer to get to your resort(but you will know right away if the luggage was misdirectd by the airline)2. You will be expected to pay the customary tip to everyone who helps with your bags(sky cap, bus driver, hotel bell services).how did this become a tip discussion? Thats NOT my issue.
Someone is our party just wants to retrieve their own bags - thats all.

What about your carry-on bags? Are they stowed under the bus, and, should you tip for them?
My carryon bag is usually just a totebag, so I can keep it with me, on the bus. But, there is little room for regular type carryon bags on the bus, so they are stowed underneath the bus.What about your carry-on bags? Are they stowed under the bus, and, should you tip for them?
