Magical express tag question

[snugglepeas]

I was wondering if anyone knew what color the magical express tags are for the magic kingdom area resorts?

I believe they are all yellow in color.

I am staying at Ft Wilderness, which is considered at MK resort, and our luggage tags we got yesterday are yellow.

All DME luggage tags are bright yellow. They can't have people at the airport looking out for 4 different colors of Disney tags on the "first pass" of pulling DME luggage from the rest of the luggage. Keeping it to one color substantially reduces the risk of error.

The resort "area" really only matters for luggage routing, not for buses and passengers.

And by the way ... strange but true ... Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, for DME purposes, is designated as a Downtown Disney (DD) area resort, not an MK area resort. The entrance to FW is just down the road from OKW and the Port Orleans resorts. Like I said, strange but true.

which would mean presumably that the green mickey head on the tag would say DD as opposed to MK

We have stayed at POFQ and the tags were yellow but my husband has been on the T in Boston and seen people headed for logan with magical express tags on there bags and said he has seen blue one's and I think green so I was wondering what color the Magic kingdom resorts were, I really need to kind out because we have a trip planned and the resort is a secret to a few peolpe in our group and i would like to keep it that way til we get to orlando and I dont want the color of the tags to give it away.

We just got our tags last week for our upcoming trip to
POR and they are Yellow and say the area that your
resort is located.

POR is in the DD Area and the tag has a Mickey shape
with Capital Letters "DD" in white on the Mickey shape
and underneath that says: Port Orleans Riverside.

We stayed at CSR last year and they were also yellow
and had Mickey head "AK" because the resort is considered
in the ANimal Kingdom Area. We dropped off other people
at POP and then US(CSR) and after CSR the bus was heading to AKL.

They weren't Disney's Magical Express luggage tags. I don't know what they were, but they weren't DME tags. I know you won't believe me, but I'm 100% sure of this.

The name of your resort is quite literally spelled-out on the tag. In addition, there will also be a 2-letter code inside a Mickey head silhouette: MK for Magic Kingdom area resorts, EC for Epcot area resorts, AK for Animal Kingdom area resorts, and DD for Downtown Disney area resorts. But like I said, more importantly, if you are staying at Fort Wilderness it will actually say "Fort Wilderness" on there. It will also have your name, your reservation number, a couple barcodes, etc.

I have no idea what your husband saw, but I absolutely guarantee you that if he saw tags that were fully green or fully blue then they were not DME tags. No chance. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be argumentative, but it's just a fact that ALL DME tags are yellow.

I dont know, maybe it was the mickey head that was a different color? not the whole tag. he didnt go into detail on what was blue.

 

[kelscross]

We got our tags today. They are yellow and the Mickey Head is Red with the letters MK in it. Then below the Mickey head it says Polynesian.

 

[cepmom]

the blue tags the previous poster saw are probably Disney Cruise Line tags....DCL uses blue tags

 

[snugglepeas]

thank you for all the answers

yes, what I saw looked like magical express tags, but where blue instead of yellow, so I guess(as previous poster stated) tehy were cruise line. I wasnt sure. I just remember telling my wife over a year ago that "hey! i saw tags that looked like magical express tags, but were blue". thats all it was.

she asked a question she wasnt running around yelling "All tags arent yellow! crucify anyone who doesnt beleive!"

Yeah but she didn't believe him the first time he answered. lol

This way, the thousands of people who may read this post and be under the same semi-misconception will instead have the absolute correct answer. The OP isn't upset, why are you?

 

[lisaanddenny]

our tags from Pittsburgh, PA are yellow, just like in 2005! My magical express information is incorrect, non the less!!! It was fixed easily.

I'm not one to use smileys too much, but I DID put in the post that I wasn't being argumentative. I like giving complete answers because it's my belief that if someone knows the FULL STORY they can understand something better than simply, "Because I said so." It's my hope that if I know the answer, that I can satisfactorily convey it so that that person doesn't need to wonder about any loose ends.

I think you're the only one who detected a problem here, so I cordially invite you to not create a problem where no problem exists. It almost makes me want to go running around yelling, "Crucify anyone who stirs the pot!" Almost.

I thought color didn't matter anymore?

Can't we all just get along???
