On disneyworld.com.. including my flights... and scheduled DME that way...

Do I need to do anything else? Should I except to see anything sent to me? About how far out from the trip?

Thanks!

If you want any dining reservations in WDW you will need to call. You can't do that on-line yet. You can begin making reservations 180 days before your trip.

ADRs are done.

I was just mostly wondering...

DME should send me luggage tags right? when?

Will I get plane tickets?

Anything to give to the hotel?

You will get documents from Disney. You won't get airline tickets because airlines really don't do that anymore. The documents that you receive are mostly for your mind ease...you don't need any of them to check in...just an ID and CC.

I will offer you this advice. I stopped booking my airfare through Disney after having issues with the flights both times I did it. My suggestion is to make sure that you monitor the actual airlines website regarding your flight. The last time I booked a flight through Disney 9 months before my trip. Well about 2 months later, I decided to look up my flight to see what the price was compared to what I had paid through Disney. Well, I look at the Delta website and sure enough...the flight Disney booked me on no longer existed. So I call Disney. They put me on hold. They come back and say "wow do you want a job here?" Disney wasn't even aware that the flight no longer existed. The bigger issue was the the other flight they had available was later in the day (and less money) than the original flight I had booked. I had to fight with CRO to get them to refund the difference. If I had not spotted this myself, they would have just switched my flight and I would have been out the extra money.


As far as your ME tags...you'll get those about 2-3 weeks before your trip.

Wow! Thanks for the advice! My trip is only 90 days away so hopefully that won't happen, but I will keep an eye on it for sure!

What airline did they book you on? I'm guessing Delta? If it is, just be aware (and this had nothing to do with Disney and everything to do with Delta) that Delta FREQUENTLY changes their flight times (usually the changes aren't major...10-20 minutes...just enough to be annoying). They will typically call you (Delta) and inform you that the flight time has changed but that doesn't always happen so again...definately check the website (especially if you are trying to arrange rides to the airport!).
