How long will bags arrive at my room w/ME

[jobes]

We arrive at MCO on Thursday at 8:20 PM. We are staying at the GF and will probably just go to the resort and get settled and ready for the week. Does anyone think we should get our bags at the airport or how long will it normally take to get to GF. I do not want the bags in the morning because we probably will be excited to get up and go !

Can I tag a question on to this one?

I'm nervous about this and I want to make sure I understand so I don't accidently send my luggage into oblivion'

I'm just putting the luggage tags they gave me on the bags and checking them in normally at my airport?

Arriving late at the airport is the only time I would suggest grabbing your own luggage. If you are arriving at 8:20 pm, then you won't be getting to the resort until 9:30 at the earliest. And then your bags could take another few hours to get to your room. Not a big deal if it's 11 in the morning but later at night I just wouldn't want to worry about when my bags would arrive. So, pick them up at baggage claim and just take them to the bus with you. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

As to the luggage tags.....yes, put those yellow stickie tags on all your checked luggage and then check them as usual at your home airport. Then, when you get to MCO, go to the DME check-in desk, get your voucher stamped, go to the buses, hop on and go to your resort and get checked in. Once you are able to get into your room, your bags should follow..hopefully in a decent amount of time. I think a lot depends on when you get into your room. If you check in at say, 11 am, and your room is ready, you may find yourself waiting for your bags to arrive. But, if you check-in at 11 and your room isn't ready until 3ish, then your bags should arrive in your room at about the same time you do. It takes them longer to get the bags sorted out at the airport,onto the correct truck, delivered to the particular resorts, then it does for you to get to the resort.

Just remember not to put the yellow tags on your luggage if you want to retrieve it yourself. I agree with goofy4tink. I'd pick up my luggage anytime I arrived after 7pm.

We used ME in Dec and we loved it but the bags can take 3 to 5 hours to get to your room. We didn't get ours until 2:30am. Our flight was delayed so we didn't get to Florida until 9:00. We got to WL about 10:00. There they told us it could be up to 5 hours for the bags. I had a small carry on but we waited up for our luggage because there were certain things everyone wanted before they went to sleep.

We used ME for the first time in May. We didn't get to our room until about 9:30 pm. I called the front desk and asked them to hold our luggage until the morning. We had what we needed for the night in our carry on. I called down the next morning at about 6:00 and the bags were delivered to us in about 15 minutes. Just a thought. =)
