Another DME question...

[Karmel96]

that I hope someone can answer!
I was reading in another thread about DME and it stated that "the desk is open from 5am to 1pm".
Now, was this only in regards to those checking in with their airlines (if able to) at their hotel, or is this for everyone? Our flight doesn't leave until 7 that night, so we don't need to leave for the airport until 3:30/4pm (I know about their 3 hour prior to take-off rule);we were planning on visiting a park for awhile on that last day.
Just wondering...

5 a.m. to 1 p.m. is for Resort Airline Check-in, the service that people on "participating airlines" can use basically as curbside check-in on the trip home. This is actually a separate service from DME and has nothing to do with DME. There is no DME desk at any resort, and there is no place at any resort that you must check-in at in order to ride the DME bus back to the airport -- you just go to the DME bus area at your pre-assigned time and deal directly with the driver when he/she arrives.

DME buses are a 24/7 operation.

Thanks! I know it was a dumb question, but I'm the one who does ALL the planning, and this is my first time doing this for my family and want to make sure I have everything right!
