Should we just carry our own bags or rely on Disney to take them to our hotel. What has your experience been with this service?

Letting Magical Express handle our checked luggage was the best feature of Magical Express!

On the way to WDW, we attached the yellow tags to our luggage at home. The bags were in our room 2 hours and 20 minutes after we landed.

On the way home, we used Resort Airline Check-in. We checked our bags at the resort, and didn't have to handle them again until after we landed at our home airport.

I actually don't recall reading more than one or two bad reviews of DME. Really. I DO recall reading a lot of anxiety about it before it started, and a lot of trash talk from town car drivers and owners. There were also a lot of initial problems and complaints about the DME packets (including luggage tags) not being sent out in time, initially. But I truly don't remember even a decent number of negative reviews of using DME.

I used DME for my May 8 - 14 trip, so I was among the first to use it, and I loved it. 53 minutes from getting into the DME line to getting dropped off at CBR. On the return trip, my resort was the only one on the bus, and it was only 3/4 full. I loved DME.

Personally, I'm looking forward to using DME on our December trip, and there's no way we'll be getting the bags ourselves. As far as I'm concerned, not having to retrieve the bags is what makes it magical!
 
We used ME in June at worked out fine. We brought packed our swimsuits in our carry ons, so that we wouldn't have to wait for our luggage to be able to enjoy the pool. We had one nasty CM at the airport but even with that we will use ME in October. The plusses out way the negatives.
 
Take enough with you as carryon to enable you to manage for the first few hours just in case. I love Magical Express, have used it once and am using it again. Saved us $$$ and was so easy.

Yeah, don't make my stupid mistake :sunny: I burn easily anyway and was taking meds that make that worse - and packed my hats in my checked luggage! :( That'll teach me!
 
Thank you for the feedback!

We are traveling with 2 little ones so we will already have a carry-on with diapers and such...I'll just throw in a few extras :)
