Taking DME to POP

[tiawolfe]

My family will be coming in on an early flight, and will (hopefully) get to POP by about 9:30 in the morning. We will be using DME for our luggage.

1. Does anyone have experience with what the wait times are for DME in the morning? Our last flight was at night and we got right on the shuttle and to the hotel very quickly.
   
2. Do you think we will have any luck getting a room that early?
   
3. Will the hotel keep our carry-on bags so we can get on a bus for the parks without lugging out bags with us?

Thanks so much for the input!

I've had pretty good luck with early arrivals and DME, the buses have run pretty regularly.
Your room might be ready but be prepared for the fact that it may not be. Bell services will hold your luggage for you so that you can go straight to the parks or wherever your plans take you

We have taken the DME to POP for the last 4 or 5 years and we always take the same flight, arriving in at around 9-9:30am and we usually have no problem getting on the bus, just have to wait for one to come in and it is usually a 15 minute wait. The only time we encountered a long wait was over Easter break one year.
When we get to POP there was only 1 time when they didnt have a room ready early when we checked in and they held our carry on's while we went to the park.

Expect ME to take on the average, about 70 - 90 after you get off the plane.

If you do online check-in, and indicate you will be at the resort that early, they will most likely give you the first available room.

If you have requests, it may not be the one you want, especially if it is a very busy check-out weekend (after a holiday, Saturdays are the busiest).

You can opt to take the first available room, if it is to your liking, or you may opt to wait for one that is available that falls under your request(s).

You can leave your carry-ons with bell services.
