First time DME user

[FantasiaMagic]

This Spring, I will be experiencing DME for the first time. I will be flying from JetBlue. My issue is, i'm not positive where I need to go to get on DME. I plan on not using the DME delivery service, my friends and I are more comfortable getting our luggage and then bringing it on the bus. So after we get our bags, I'm not positive where we will be going. Anyone have any idea?

Also, how often do the busses leave the airport. What happens if our flight is delayed and we miss the bus we were originally scheduled to use?


TIA x100000

Directions are well marked by overhead signs. Jetblue uses Terminal A. Follow the signs to get your bags. From there you need to cross over to Terminal B and down to level 1 to find the DME counter. Just follow the signs. Don't worry about missing a particular bus. They'll get you on the next one heading to your resort. They leave at different intervals depending on on how busy they are, but you shouldn't have too long a wait

Thank you minnie mum, you are always very helpful with these things.

When you get off the plane, and take the tram to the main terminal, go down to level 2, baggage claim, on Side A. Get your bags, go back up to level 3 (where you arrived at), cross over to Side B, with the food court area to your left, take the escalator (or elevator) down to level 1. This is where DME is.

When you get your DME packet, you will have a letter in it...it will have a very easy to follow map!

When you get to the DME area, you will be directed to the bus podiums....you can scan your Magic Band there, and they will direct you to the appropriate bus line for your resort. Then, when you bus arrives, you will have your MB scanned again, and onto the bus! They can stow your bags beneath the bus...be prepared to tip! As you've been told, you aren't assigned to a specific bus....you just go to the bus line and get on the next arriving bus. So, if you want to use the restroom or grab something to eat when you get to the airport, go for it. No rush to get to DME...well, unless you really want to get started on your vacation!!!!

Thank you so much! This makes me feel so much better about the whole situation. I am so excited now to finally experience DME for the first time! I am fully aware about the tipping, I researched that in the past, but thank you for reminding me. I will wait for my packet to arrive, as its another checkpoint that the trip soon awaits!
