DME for Canadians?

[belleincanada]

If you're flying out of Toronto, is it still valid? Or do we not qualify since we're 'International'?

Do we have to get our bags anyway and go through customs? How does it all work?


Thanks

No problem.

It has been suggested that you do not put the yellow DME tags on until you get to the customs station. I don't think it makes any difference other than reduce confusion by baggage handlers at customs stations. For many Canadians, U.S. bound customs "preclearing" is done in Canada and no further handling of baggage would be needed.

Going home you must manage your baggage yourself and not check it at the resort. It will be put under the DME bus. This is because you need to clear customs at Orlando Airport. Remove the yellow DME tags, they are not used for going home and may cause confusion.

Hi,

I just went in April and we used the Magical Express Service. We put the yellow tags on at home and at the airport they had no problem with them being on. As soon as we got to Orlando there were alot of people who had tags on their luggage also. So than we went over to the baggage area and than we asked the man what do we do with them. He said just put them on the slider and they will handle it after that. We got our luggage in the room later on that day.

Trust me it's a great service!

No Canadian flights preclear customs in Orlando. All Canadian flights clear Canadian customs in Canada.
