Great experience with all of the above!

Adult DD arrived on Wednesday took DME to Pop using the DME luggage tags. Boarded bus to Pop just after entering the line, waited about 10 minutes and the bus was off, I can't remember what she told me about the order of stops but her plane landed at 12:30 and she was checked into Pop by two and heading to the Studios. She returned to her room at 9ish and her checked bag was waiting for her.

My other dd and I took DME to BWV on Friday and had a very similar experience, we landed about 12:45 - a bus was waiting when we checked into DME and we left about 10 minutes after. Stopped at YC BC and then Boardwalk, checked in around 2:15and our room was ready. Our garden grocer order was waiting as was my dd's bag that was been moved from POP to Boardwalk that morning. Headed off to the studios until 8sh and when we returned our checked bags were in the room.

Sunday afternoon adult DD headed home, used RAC for a 5pm flight and the line was quick and the staff was helpful. DME was on time, security lines were long but dd had enough time at the airport. Checked bag arrived in home airport no issues.

Friday younger dd and I moved from BWI to Beach Club to join family and bell services transferred the bags. We brought our bags to bell services but they would have picked them up if we needed that. Headed off to Epcot until 4ish and then checked in at BC and our bags were at bell services.

Sunday dd and I headed home, used RAC again no lines and knowledgeable helpful staff. DME was on time and we had plenty of time to clear security and our bags arrived safely as well.

In summary despite a 3 part "split stay" DME was fine - I did call DME directly to book and had no issues. I would use DME, (including the luggage delivery option) RAC and Disney's internal luggage transfer again - very convenient!

Thanks for the review! It's always nice to hear when things work out nicely vs hearing only horror stories.
I wish that I have had the same experiences with Bell Services moving bags from resort to resort. But, sadly, I haven't. It always takes all day. I have yet to get my bags at the new resort until past 5pm...and that's after handing them off by 8am!!! I now prefer to just take a cab to the next resort, with my bags. Yes, it costs more but at least I know where my bags are!!!

Honestly I was prepared for that as it has also been my experience in the past!

My adult dd didn't need anything from her bag and it was her choice to use the service from pop to BWI. I was honestly shocked when the bellman said hte bag was there at 2ish. This went so well that I thought why not when it came time for us to move later in the week. It helped that we planed long park days for the days without a room so we really could have done without until 5/6ish.

But yes- I suppose folks should know that it can take all day to move the bags.
