Paying for Checked Baggage For Return Flight

[TheSweetLife]

We are flying American Airlines and will need to pay $15 per bag (we are checking 3) on the flight down. We pay that curbside. How do we pay AA for the luggage on our return flight if DME takes our luggage at the pickup site at the resort? I can't find any information for that on the AA site or on DME. Thanks!

The day before you check out, you will get an envelope on your door from DME. In it, you will find a letter than confirms how many passengers you have and what time your motorcoach will pick you up. There is also a number in their for BAGS which is who you call to pay your luggage fee. You just call that number, tell them which airline you are flying (and I think which flight) and how many bags you are checking. Then you pay with a credit card and they give you a confirmation number. When you go to the RAC desk to check in for your flight and check your bags, they will ask for the confirmation number.

When we went in June, I tried to call BAGS just before heading down to breakfast. Unfortunately, there was a phone problem and I kept getting the "all signals are busy...please try your call again later" message. I did finally get through after breakfast and about 4 hours before our flight so I cut it close.

Thanks for those details.

Make sure when you call the number the day before checkout that you have your return flight info and confirmation number. We were specifically asked for our confirmation number. Also, have a pen and paper handy since we had to write down a confirmation number to prove that we had paid for the luggage.

Since we booked through Disney I only have the whole package confirmation # and not one through the airline.
