How will this affect DME?

[disny_luvr]

We are leaving for Disney on Saturday. The flight we are currently booked on leaves BWI at 4:30 and arrives at MCO around 6:55. I just checked flights again this morning and the 2:15 flight out of BWI has dropped in price. I'd like to switch to that flight, arriving about 2.5 hours earlier; however, we have DME reservations for later in the evening. How does that work? Does arriving early affect our reservation on DME? Also, we are flying SW. We purchased EBCI. Do you think this would negatively affect our boarding placement if I switched now so close to the flight date?

TIA

Regarding DME, I think you should just be able to call and tell them your flight has changed.

Regarding EBCI, I'm *GUESSING* it will take care of itself, but that's a WAG.

Don't worry about DME. They really don't care much about which flight you arrive on. You can tell them which flight you arrived on when you checkin with them at the counter.
As far as EBCI goes, yes, you will be impacted. You bought EBCI for one flight. It may very well not transfer very well to a new flight. It may put you way behind others who already booked EBCI for that flight. Call SW and see what they say about it.

I just changed my flight with SW coming home and I had purchased EB on my original flight and the EB changed over onto my new flight.
I get to stay 2 more hours in WDW before I come home and I did not have to pay an extra $10.00

As long as you do not change your reservation number, your EBCI will carry over to any changes you make to your reservation. However, I don't know how that will effect your order to get your boarding pass.
