No ME tags yet

[Psychodisney]

I know it is too early to panic but I'm starting to anyway! Our friend who are traveling with us have gotten their tags but we haven't. We're fling down on 12/30. I talked to a CM last week that said our stuff was processed on 11/18. So-we're confirmed but have no tags. She said no problem just tell the desk at the airport an d they will find our bags. Not too reassuring-how many black suitcases are out there. Do I trust the service if I have no tags?

If you are leaving 12/30, they can come anywhere up to like 2 weeks before you leave. If you just made the reservation for DME on 11/18, I would expect to get them either this week or next.

I think for our trip to WL last week, our tags came about 11/10-ish and we checked in on 11/27. On past trips, we have had them arrive really early. I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to it. And as far as finding your specific black bags, they will take your claim checks at the ME desk to get your luggage if you have no tags.

I made the reservation back in October. Apparently the order was processed on 11/18-as was our friends and they got theirs 11/21-we didn't get ours so I'm thinking they are not coming!

Unfortunately, I can't make you feel better.

We got our ME stuff on Friday. Our resort package arrived today. It had a processing date of 11/27. We arrive on-site on 1/8. I'm sorry to say I think you probably are in trouble if you booked direct from Disney.

Are you and your friends on two different reservations, or are you on the same one? If you're on the same reservation, who's name is the reservation in? If you are all on the same reservation, only one packet is sent out, with tags for everyone on that particular reservation.
But...if you have two different reservations, you should have gotten your packet by now. I would call DME directly (866-599-0951) and let them know of your situation. They should be able to get out a replacement packet.

Thanks for the phone number. I made the reservation through DVC member serevices-one for each family. Dvc confirmed the reservation. I guess I am just uncomfortable having someone claim my bags without the ME tags. I know they will have my claim tickets. If our friends don't use all of their tags(they were given 2 per person) can I use them?-or are they numbered to match with a certain name?

Yep, you can use some of your friends tags if they have extra. Your bags will be delivered to their villa, but it is no problem to use their tags.

In 2006, we added an extra person after our tags arrived with no time to get additional ones. We had extra tags and put one of our tags on her stuff.
