ME...when heading home...how does it work?

[rapunzal]

What are the procedures for heading back to the airport? Put the yellow tags on and bring down to bell hop. Pick up luggage where when I get home? On the Continental luggage area? Our flight is not until 7:30pm...should we just keep luggage with bell hop and then take it to the bus ourselves...looking to spend the day at the pool...really do not want to carry wet suits around. Also planning on getting luggage ourselves on the way down and bring suitcases to bus... is that ok? Luggage is not heavy at all...could have put everything in one bag....but afraid of the limit of weight! How much do I tip for each bag. Thanks

You must have gotten a bus time in writing (it is about 3 hours before your flight) and have validated bus vouchers, all at least a day in advance.

Do not use the yellow tags for going home. Remove the yellow tags at the resort if you used them coming down.

For Continental and a few other airlines you can check your baggage right at the resort (5 AM to 1 PM) An airport baggage handler is there, you would not give the baggage to the bellhop. Alternatively you can always bring baggage to the bus if you wish.

I think the going rate is a dollar tip for each bag the driver puts under the bus.

Nope, you don't have any yellow tags for the return flight..they are good only for the trip to MCO from your home airport. If you aren't planning on using them for your flight into MCO, then throw them away.
Now, as for the return to MCO at the end of your trip. You will get a notice the day before your departure date. It will give you your time for bus pickup for the return to MCO. Since your flight isn't until the evening, you will be able to check your luggage right at your resort. But be careful...don't wait too long to do that since they close down that desk in the early afternoon. I would take my luggage to them after breakfast. Then, you say goodby to your luggage (and don't see it again until you arrive at your home airport),you get your boarding passes for the flight home (be sure everyone in your party is there, with the appropriate ID), leave a carry-on bag with bell services and go off and have a good day. You most likely will have a bus pickup time of around 4:30 or so. Leave a change of clothes in your carryon so you can swim. Pack a plastic bag for those wet suits!!!

As far as tipping goes, it's about $1 per bag.
Have a great trip.
