I just called ME (thanks, SeashoreCM for the #) and they did send the ME vouchers in the same packet with all the other vouchers. I normally get two separate packets but this time I only received one. I'm not sure this is a new process but I thought I'd share just in case anyone else has this happen.
You should have had the phone number right there, in the packet you received. It has always been this way...one packet with vouchers inside the booklet and yellow luggage tags for DME transfer.
I booked my flights thru Disney. Will my tickets for them be in the package from Disney as well?
Thanks
As noted, tickets are now all electronic. You will need to go to the airline websitie and print out your boarding passes. Or, you can probably wait until you get to the airport...the old fashioned way.
Silly question...
We have a DVC reservation (members, not rented) for 15 people in 2 villas at the same resort. How many DME packets should I plan to receive in the mail?
Depends on who the lead person was...the one making the reservations. I know that generally speaking, they send out one packet...then it's up to that person to get everyone else their tags and vouchers. Last Oct, I booked two studios, for two couples...and I got all the DME stuff sent to me, even though it was two different family names and addresses on record.
For my Dec trip, I got two packets (one with the luggage tags and pkg vouchers and then a few days later the DME booklet with vouchers). For our Feb trip everything came in one big blue/white envelope (yellow DME tags, plastic luggage tags, and just one booklet with the DME vouchers mixed in with the other vouchers for free watercraft, Planet Hollywood souvineer and $15.00 coupon, arcade vouchers, etc). Everything is sent in one envelope now.
Unfortunately, everyone seems to be confusing their 'Mickey Mail' with DME mail...and these two things come from two different areas. Those that have booked a package...room, tickets, dining for instance...will get one mailing with souvenier luggage tags. These usually have the Castle or such on them and they are hard, reusable plasticd. You will also get your room reservation itinerary, and minigolf and arcade vouchers. Then you should get another mailing, from DME, with your info booklet with vouchers and the yellow tags.
Now...if you book through a TA, you may very well get them altogether since the TA owns that reservation until you are at the resort checking in. The TA would put all the various mailings together and give them to you.
But, generally speaking, these two mailings don't get lumped together. The Mickey Mail (package stuff) comes from Disney Travel. DME packet comes from, well, DME aka Mears. A whole different entity.
My trip is in 32 days (not that I'm counting
) and I havent received anything yet except a mailing not long after I booked with my itinerary. Should I have gotten the DME packet yet or do I just continue to be patient (not a virtue of mine lol). Also, how soon do I wait before I contact Disney? Thanks
Your DME can come at any time from 4 weeks prior to travel. If you get to about 23 days out, and haven't seen anything, call DME directly. You need to see if they have you in their system. If not, they can add you and get the stuff mailed to you. Calling them directly cuts out the middle man, and you tend to get better results.
There are some instances where you may get two DME mailings. If you are changing resorts during your stay for instance. They will send you arrival stuff, with tags. They will also send you another packet as if you were checking in for the first time at this resort. The times that I have, for instance, changed resorts midtrip...arrived at BLT and them moved to BWV and left from there, I have gotten two packets. One for my BLT arrival, with yellow luggage tags. Then, a day or so later, I get the second one...for arrival at BWV, but with no luggage tags. Well, one time they did send me another set of luggage tags, but no need for that. The second packet had my correct departure info, whereas the first packet had 'incomplete info' written in the departure area.
. I had called and booked directly with Disney and in my packet was a copy of my itinerary, souvenier tags, DME tags, DME vouchers and discount vouchers. So excited!! Now I just have to keep myself from packing a month early LOL.
I called Disney to book both trips. I never use a TA.
