DME question

[WOODY13]

Okay we were arriving the 14th of Sept. and staying at the POLY, but now we are flying in on the 13th and spending the first night at POR. Now the question is (I have DME tags for both resorts) should I put the POLY tags on our bags so that they will go straight to the POLY instead of having them go to POR then having them transfered in the morning to the POLY? We will be getting to POR about 11:30pm so we would have them hold the bags overnight anyway. So I thought it would make more sense to have them go right to the POLY. Anyone ever do this? I don't want to loose my luggage to end up in limbo.

That's a very intresting question. My family & I have never taken Magical Express or done a split stay, however I am also curious to here this answer.

Your luggage will go to the reservation that matches what is on the barcode on your tag. THe barcode is encoded to YOUR reservation, not a particular resort. EVen thoug hte words say a resort, the luggage is scanned and sorted by bar code. I jsut came back fro mWSW. I had made a reservation for OKW and then switched to BWV. I called about this and that was the answer I got from the DME folks.

I would think that since you have tags for both resorts, that the Poly tags are meant for your return trip. You would use the POR for your arrival. DH did the check-in for DME at MCO, so I'm not certain about this, but could you ask at the DME counter at MCO to have your luggage delivered to Poly?

As someone already said, the barcode on the DME tag is tied in to the reservation information, and does not denote a specific resort. Your luggage will be sent to the resort you yourself will be transported to.

If you want to make it easier and not be in "limbo," consider getting the bags yourself. This will mean DON'T put the DME tags on your bags.

And by the way, you got 2 sets of tags due to somewhat of a computer glitch, I suspect. On a split stay, you have 2 different reservation numbers. Each reservation number triggers the production of a DME packet (the tags are printed in the packet). THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DME LUGGAGE TAGS FOR THE TRIP BACK HOME. Those "other" tags will have no use whatsoever. Don't bother bringing them with you to WDW.

Again, there's NO SUCH THING as DME luggage tags for the trip from your resort back home at the end of your vacation.

SHould the resort name on the correctly dated tags not be correct you can cross it out and write in the correct resort name. Don't mark over the bar code. Be sure to bring the same stubs or booklet from which you tore off the tags.

Remove all yellow ME tags (and all other old destination tags) before going home.
