Extra praise for the CM who assisted with DME!!!

When we booked last month we couldn't get a room for our first night (we already bought our plane tickets, though). At that time I couldn't make DME arrangements for our arrival since technically we did not have a room yet for that first night. Well, over the course of the last 3 weeks I have called repeatedly and made, cancelled, re-made a few different room reservations for that first night. During each of those calls it never occurred on me to make reservations for DME. Well finally last week it dawned on me to call about DME. The CM was nice enough. She explained that she'd send out the DME packet, and it might arrive on time or it might not. She said there would be no problem with us getting on DME as long as we had our resort reservation paperwork. The only glitch would be our luggage. Without DME yellow tags we might have to pick-up our own luggage and bring it to the DME Welcome Center. Though not as convenient, that did not seem so bad to me. Besides, it served me right for being such an air-head, right...???

Well, the next day I received an express package. That CM had put my DME material together and had it sent express to me. How wonderful is that!!!??? I have to tell you, I am as pleased as punch since this is a girls-only trip and without DH I was not looking forward to schlepping through MCO with luggage.

The magic has already begun!

That's awesome. I love it when people go the extra mile. I hope you have a great trip!

Hi! I just got mine a couple of hours ago for our trip next Monday - they expressed mine, too. I'm so thankful! Woo-hoo!

It's great that the CM went the extra mile for you. But the CM was misinformed about one thing -- even if you don't have the yellow DME tags, you STILL can get the automatic luggage delivery (skip baggage claim, etc.).

When you check in at the DME Welcome Center, they will ask you if you tagged your checked bags. If you didn't, they will ask you to identify them (from a photo array) and will ask you how many there were. A CM will be dispatched to claim them for you, and then send them along with the rest of the DME luggage. You don't have to get them yourself from baggage claim, you get to skip baggage claim entirely, just like those who have already tagged their bags.

I left that out to simplify the story. Sorry about that. I immediately rejected that options as it just seemed even more complicated, and therefore the room for error, (at least in my mind), increased.
