Bring bags on bus or use ME?

[duckfan78]

I will be arriving late Saturday night of this week. We are checking into SSR for a studio the first night and than the following day we are getting a 2br

I am thinking of not letting ME take my bags, cause i dont want them delievered at like 3am that night.

I heard though that you can either tell the resort not to have ME deliver the bags and to hold them

and the second thing I heard was to take the bags on the ME bus yourself and just have bell services hold them for you till the next day when you check in.

not sure what to do!?

If you have room in your carry-on for the first night's supplies and/or you have lots of luggage, you might enjoy not having to lug it through the airport and on the ME bus. Have them hold the bags, if you'd like.

The last time I rode ME it would have been impossible to take your bags on with you. unless all you have in a couple of carry on size. anything larger and you would not fit. I suppose that you could have your bags held until the next morning... i don't think that they would deliever your bags at 3am.

Put the DME tags on your luggage.
Let DME transport your luggage to SSR.
While you're checking in, tell the Front Desk you do NOT want your luggage delivered, and remind them that you're moving to a larger unit the next day.
Stop and tell Bell Services the same thing, or call when you get to your room.
Put the "Privacy Please" card in the key slot on your door.

Sounds like overkill, but you can't be too safe

When you check out-and-in the next morning, tell the Front Desk and/or Bell Services you'd like your luggage delivered to your new room.

My family comes down for a Grand Gathering yearly, and this past time they used ME, and they all took their own bags with them on the ME bus. You just do not put the tags on them and you have to go collect them at baggage claim and they will load them under the bus. THey will unload them at the resort as well.

Doing it this way, you will have to lug the bags yourself to ME from bagge claim (or get a porter). You should also tip the driver for handling your bags, but at least you will have your stuff with you.
