Evening arrival/DME

[TheFloatingBear]

Hello! I'm traveling to WDW in April, and I'm just realizing that for the first time, my flight gets in at night. Typically, I have early am flights (East Coast) and arriving between 9-10am. I'd just like to make sure I understand my options regarding baggage, etc. Our flight arrives at approximately 8pm.

We can yellow tag our luggage so it will go via DME, but it would arrive late - up to 1am-ish, correct?

To avoid being woken up, we can do the above but ask bell services to hold until the morning, or we can either transfer our luggage ourselves to the resort (no yellow tags!).

Also, just out of curiosity, does DME take about the same time this time of night? Usually it's about 1 1/2 hours in the am. I doubt it could be much less, but just curious...

Any suggestions/feedback welcome - thanks!

Yes to everything.
DME takes about the same time at all times of day. 90 is a good avg figure to work with
yes you can let them get your bags and yes it would be very late when it arrives. You can ask them to hold the bags and back this up with a Do Not Disturb sign on the door, just in case.

Thanks for the info! Glad I remembered before our arrival so I can plan! Thanks for the Do Not Disturb tip - I'm not sure what we'll do yet, but I wouldn't have thought of that!
