ME and Stand-By Flights

[emma'smom]

We are planning on flying stand-by next month and we want to use ME. Can anyone advise us as to whether we are making correction assumptions about what will happen to our luggage?

We will check our luggage for the flight we are hoping to take and provide ME with the flight information for this flight. However, if the morning flight is too full....we will try for the next flight (afternoon flight). However, since we are flying stand-by, our luggage will have gone out on the morning flight either with or without us.

Will it be pulled by ME and sent to our resort even if we don't make the flight? In other words, when we arrive in the afternoon...and finally check into ME..are we correct in assuming that our luggage will be waiting for us at our resort when we arrive that evening?

Thanks!

sounds right to me. your luggage arriving at another time isn't an issue. it's something they've probably dealt with a countless number of times in the past 2 years+.

If you are not sure which flight you will be on, tell Magical Express the later of the two. There is no problem arriving early.

Actually there is no problem being tardy either, except if you get in to Orlando International after 10 PM. Here you would have to have given flight information to ME so they will know you are coming and not shut down for the night.

Your yellow tagged checked baggage will be handled for Disney as soon as it arrives.
