Magical Express yellow tags

[ats52001]

I am 20 days out till my trip and I just booked my flights and got my magical express stuff all set up. I was wondering if I will receive my yellow luggage tags in time or should I just plan on picking up my own luggage?

Mine came in about two weeks before we left.

It is a crap shoot. If they don't come, I would get it myself..

Even if the tags don't show up you can still have your bags delivered.

I haven't gotten my tags yet!
Never fear. You have two options. You can claim your bags like normal, or you can have Disney claim them for you as if you did have those yellow tags. Bypass baggage claim, and go straight to the Welcome Center. From there, give the Cast Member your luggage claim tickets. They will create replacement tags for you, find your bags, tag them, and send them to your resort.

But go ahead and call DME to make sure they have your reservation!

You can still have your bags delivered without the yellow tags! Or if you have more bags than yellow tags (this happened to us once), that can be done too. All you do is save your airline luggage receipts with the luggage identification number. When you check in at the Magical Express desk, explain to them that you did not receive yellow tags (or have some bags with yellow tags and some without), and they will take or scan your luggage receipts. The bags will be delivered to your room as usual.

I was worried when this happened to us, but the guy at the desk said it's something they see every day and it would not be a problem. He was right - our bags without yellow tags arrived along with the ones with the tags. So don't worry if you haven't received your yellow tags, your luggage can still be delivered to your room!
