Can we stay at a different hotel the first/last night?

Just wondering if this would work? We are arriving late on the 1st of Sept and leaving very early the morning of the 10th. I can get a good rate at the Hyatt hotel in the airport. Could we stay at the Hyatt the night we arrive and the night before we leave (plane leaves at 8am)? I know we could probably do it, I am just wondering how ME would work? Would they hold our luggage? I would be doing this because I am thinking of switching from a moderate to deluxe and want to reduce the nights. Thanks

I know you can do it, but I'm drawing a blank on what you have to do with your luggage. Sorry! Maybe go ask on the Transportation Board, as I'm sure someone there will know!

Thanks, didn't think of that.

Why don't you just take the bags with you on ME - you would have to pick them up at baggage claim and check them in at the airport on the return but you can still take ME

Tell ME that you're arriving the following morning. Carry your luggage with you onto the ME bus - it's completely acceptable. Take it off the bus and check in.

Same thing in reverse - tell ME that you're leaving late the day before your flight. Take your luggage onto the bus. Take it off the bus, and you're all set.

On your arrival night you will have to pick up your luggage at the luggage carousel and take it with you to the Hyatt. DME will not hold your luggage for you overnight. I believe you can still have Hyatt bell services arrange for DME luggage delivery the next morning. You can ask on the Transportation board.

You are entitled to one round trip on DME during your Disney resort stay so you can return to MCO/Hyatt the night before your departure flight. You can contact DME in advance and arrange the pick up time from Disney resort you're staying at.
