No DME Tags yet...flying 2nd April

[Robbie1stTime]

We're arriving next Monday and I didn't realise that DME send a pack with tags. I've read posts here and am happy to collect my own luggage, but does the DME pack contain any other important stuff? I have confirmation by e-mail that we're booked on DME.

Also, does anyone know how I can get to the Car Care Centre from All star music? I didn't fancy driving from the airport after a 16 hour journey!

Can't wait to see America again!!!

arriving no, but it does include your voucher for your return trip if you plan on using it, but they can print you another when you check-in.

Your Disney’s Magical Express reservation has been made; however, you may not receive your Disney’s Magical
Express booklet with luggage tags prior to departure for Orlando. Please be assured that you will still be able to
utilize the service and receive the same seamless experience.
Once you arrive at Orlando International Airport, you have two options:
1) You can pick up your luggage at baggage claim and proceed directly to the Disney
Welcome Center. You will be responsible for taking your luggage with you on the
motor coach.
2) Or you may proceed directly to the Disney Welcome Center. You do not need to claim
your luggage. Disney will gather all of your information and collect your luggage for
you and then deliver it to your resort room.
IMPORTANT: Please pack any valuables, medications or anything needed immediately upon arrival into Orlando in
a carry-on bag.
Arrival at Orlando International Airport. Upon arrival, please take the tram from your gate to the main Terminal
and proceed to the Disney Welcome Center which is located on the B Side on Level 1 and bypass baggage claim.
If you arrive on the A Side, please proceed to the B Side before taking the elevator or escalator down to Level 1.
You may follow the airport signs to Ground Transportation.
At the Disney Welcome Center, please present your airline baggage claim checks to the Disney representative
to confirm the number of bags* checked as well as your return flight information. You will then board a
complimentary motor coach that will take you to your resort. Your motor coach may make up to 3 stops before
arriving at your resort.
Luggage delivery to the resort. Your luggage will be claimed at the airport and delivered to your room. Your
luggage may take up to 3 hours after you check-in to be delivered. You do not need to be in your room to receive
your luggage. Please note if you take your luggage on the motor coach it will not automatically be delivered to
your room.
Returning home. You will receive a Transportation Notice the day prior to check-out advising you of your motor
coach pick-up time and other general information. Your motor coach pick-up time is based on your
flight departure and will be approximately 3 hours prior to that time to allow for multiple stops by
the motor coaches.
Resort Airline Check-In Service. Upon departure, you may take advantage of Disney’s
complimentary Resort Airline Check-In Service for participating airlines. You can check
your luggage and receive your airline boarding pass at your Disney resort so there is
no need to check-in at the airport. At this time, the service is available for guests
flying domestically on these airlines: Alaska Airlines, American, Continental,
Delta, JetBlue, Northwest, and United (including Ted).
*Pet carriers not included. Disney’s Magical Express cannot transport pets
except for service animals.

well, you'll have to drive the vehicle when you get to the car care center, but they operate a shuttle. as per disney:

Shuttle service to and from your location is provided seven days a week, Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. (Holiday hours may vary.) Shuttle service should be scheduled at least one hour in advance. Call 0870 400 4562† for reservations in the UK or (407) 824-3470† for shuttle service and reservations once in Florida.

Thanks all. My mind is at rest!

Will you be clearing Customs in Orlando? If so, you'll have to have your luggage with you for that. At that point, if I already had my luggage with me I'd keep it with me rather than give it to Disney to have it delivered later.

I had booked at ASMovies through CRO and then when SW Vacations came out with their package deal, I canceled that one and booked with SW Vacations - same resort but returning home one day earlier. Disney went ahead and sent me DME tags for the reservation I had made through CRO before I canceled it.

I'm afraid I'm not going to get my DME tags through the reservation I made with SW Vac. Can I use the DME tags that Disney sent me since it's the same resort (although returning one day earlier)?

I would think you're better off NOT using those "old" tags. The barcode on the tags is tied to the reservation number, and the reservation number you got through Disney is no longer a valid reservation number. I'd be concerned there could be some sort of SNAFU if you use tags for a canceled reservation.

Thanks for that insight. I didn't even think about that!
