New to DME and Late check-in

[jennbug]

We will be arriving very late or early depending on how you look at it! The plane arrives at 12:21 AM. Does DME run that late and if so will our bags be delivered that night? We are staying our first night at ASMO and then transferring to GF. ALso this is our first flight with kids do I really need to bring a car seat on the plane? All we have is two huge Britax ones and that would be pain to bring to the gate. Kid's will be almost 4 and a 2 and a half yo

ME does operate at that time. Your bags will be delivered that night if you so choose. My mom recently arrived at OKW at 2:30 am (flight delay) and was given the option of having her luggage delivered the next morning, which she chose to do.

With a 2.5 year old and a 4 year old you are not required to use any sort of child seat on the airplane. You may wish to, if you believe it will be safer for them, but there is no regluation stating you must.

We took our then 5 year old son and VERY petite 2.5 year old daughter to WDW last year, and our little girl did just fine in the regular airplane seat.

My wife is a pediatrician and is well-aware of all of the safety concerns as well as recommendations, and she didn't even think twice about leaving our carseats home.

Thanks Cleve Rocks! That's my main issue is I don't want people to think we don't have our children's safety at heart. I just see flying differently than driving.
