Adding DME last minute

[jekjones1558]

Somehow I can't find this answer on the stickies and am not using right search terms, so apologies for asking what is probably an old question.
We may do a last minute trip Feb. 10 - 17. Is there any way to get DME at this late date? Never used it before but would like to make this a bargain trip, since it was not really planned into the budget. TIA for your help. (Need to book cheap air ticket TODAY!)

Yes. After you book your airfare, give DME a call, toll free 866-599-0951.

While the rule is 10 days in advance, DME has accommodated those who booked the rest of their vacation (or just forgot) using shorter notice so long as the reservation was prior to getting off the plane and showing up at the DME welcoming area.

DME will deliver your baggage from any airline to your resort room if you wish, even if you did not get the yellow tags in time.

Yep, you can book the night before you travel!!! You won't get the yellow luggage tags, or the info packet, but you can reserve you seats on a bus. This is the phone number...866-599-0951.
Give them a call, get your reservations. Then, when you get to MCO, you can do one of two things....head to baggage claim and get your bags and then head down to the DME checkin desk and have your bags loaded underneath your bus, or...head directly to Level 1, head to the DME checkin desk and give them your baggage claim slips and they will get your bags and send them along to the resort on a different truck. Me, I would just get my own luggage and take it with me but others have different opinions.
So...give them a call, and you'll be all set.

WOW! Thanks for fast and friendly answers--and they are what I wanted to hear! Now I need to work out a couple of other details. NEVER have done this so last minute before!
