Magical Express Luggage Tag help!

[Key51697]

We got 4 tags in the mail yesterday. We have 6 pieces of luggage. I called magical express and since we arrive Sat. they said it is too late to ship out more tags. They told me to check the extra luggage and just tell the member services person of the extra and they will transport it.

I then had my husband call and they told him to simply cut the tags in half on the fold and attach to the luggage.

The latter would be easiest and piece of mind. Has anyone ever done this?

I have never done it, but I think it would work. I've been told that when the baggage handlers and taking the bags off of the plane they just look for the yellow tags on bags and put them to the side. I think once that is done ME would be able to figure out the pieces of luggage go together. They do have barcodes on them, but still, what they told you to do sounds logical.

Moving to the Transportation Board.

NOOOOOOO! DON'T cut the tags apart!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, wait. Which number did he call? If it was the 407-WDISNEY number, then:
NOOOOOOO! DON'T cut the tags apart!!!!!!!!!!!

If you/he called the 866 number, that's the direct line to Magical Express. If a CM there told you to do this, well... I still say NO.

DME has a procedure in place when Guests do not have (enough) tags. Bring your claim checks and a description of your luggage to the Welcome Center. They WILL dispatch a Cast Member to baggage claim to pull your untagged luggage and send it for processing with all the tagged luggage. Honest. I swear.
