DME: two different resorts

[MumziMom]

Strange question. We are having a big "all adults/family" gathering. Our daughter's boyfriend will be flying in really early on a long international flight on the day that we will get there much later. My daughter was considering flying down a day early, staying in a value by herself, then he could come in the next morning and have a place to sleep waiting for him. (He doesn't sleep on airplanes.)

We will all be staying over at AKL that evening that he comes in.

Will DME deliver his luggage to AKL, but deliver him to one of the values? Can he take a different bus? Does anyone know if there are "fixed routes" for DME on the way to Jambo house? (I know that when we went to the Caribbean Beach Resort, we stopped at Pop first.)

I know that he will most likely, with immigration and customs, then the DME, only have 2 hours at the resort before needing to check out. (His plane arrives at 6 a.m.) . He could Uber it I guess. Thanks!

And one more question - at MCO, international arrivals retrieve their luggage, go through immigration/customs, then can put their bags back on the carousel. I thought if I send him the yellow bands for his luggage at that point, then DME will pick them up more easily. Has anyone done this?

Thanks again!

We have never flown in from internationally before, but what I understand is DME can't claim his luggage due to customs. What he could do would be to claim his luggage, go through customs, then ride DME to the value resort with his luggage. When he gets to the resort, he can give his luggage to Bell Services (along with your daughter's), and let them know they are moving over to AKL. Bell Services will move their luggage and your daughter's boyfriend can get a few hours of sleep.

I think he will have to ride DME to wherever he is on the reservation. So, if your daughter puts him on the reservation at the value, he can claim his luggage and go there.
