Didn't get our Docs and luggage tags in time! Help??

[belleincanada]

Hi everyone,

Due to the passing of a family member, my boyfriend and I planned a very last minute trip to WDW this coming Monday. We booked it a week ago today, and we leave in three days. We're staying at ASMu and we're on the DDP, and we got the Magical Express from MCO to our hotel.

I didn't think we'd get any of our luggage tags or documents or anything because of the short notice. So what do we do in this situation?? Will we still get on the Magical Express?

Any tips or help would be super appreciated.

You'll be fine. Here's what you do for the Magical Express: proceed directly to baggage claim (level 2) to pull your luggage. If you are already on the A side of the airport, then head to the Disney Welcome Center which is located on the A side of the airport on Level 1 (Ground Transportation). If you arrive on the B side, you will have to pull your luggage, head up to the 3rd level to cross over to the A side and then back down the escalator or elevator down to level 1. There will be Disney representatives located on Level 2 (Baggage Claim) on both the A and B sides of the airport to assist you with directions to the Disney Welcome Center. At the Welcome Center, you will receive all the necessary information for your transportation.

You don't need anything else concerning your resort - they'll have everything you need when you get to your hotel.

And I am so sorry for your loss.

You don't necessarily have to retrieve your own luggage if you don't want to, even without the yellow DME tags. From the Transportation board:

I haven't gotten my tags yet!
Never fear. You have two options. You can claim your bags like normal, or you can have Disney claim them for you as if you did have those yellow tags. Bypass baggage claim, and go straight to the Welcome Center. From there, give the Cast Member your luggage claim tickets. They will create replacement tags for you, find your bags, tag them, and send them to your resort.

Oh doh! Completely forgot about that too - either way you'll get to your destination. Enjoy your vacation!

I have a reservation for 2 rooms. I got everything I needed for Room #1 (luggage tags & DME booklet), but nothing for room #2.

I even called 3 weeks ago and they took all my info and said the additional luggage tags would arrive in 5-7 days.

So far.....NADA

I'll likely just pick up my luggage and cart them to the DME desk with me - at least I'll know that my bags will arrive with me when I check in. It's only a minor inconvenience.
