Using ME if you rent a car?

[mindystar]

We are renting a full size car for four adults for our trip this week, but not sure if the luggage will all fit in the trunk. Would we be able to tag our luggage and have ME deliver it to the resort if we don't ride ME, but take the rental car instead?
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I did try looking for a similar thread/post.
TIA for any info!

while it sounds like a great plan, as you present it, it won't work, but with some tweaking it will...

DME will not deliver luggage unless the owner has checked in and is riding a bus... what you can do is tag your luggage w/two of the four travelers' tags and those two travelers take DME and the other two go via rental car... if you have enough tags (i believe you get two per person) you can tag the other person's luggage w/your DME tags so they don't have to go to baggage claim but right to car rentals and not have to worry about fitting *any* luggage in the rental!

hope this helps

I called disney re this for an upcomming trip and was told that I can take all luggage with me on dme so long as one member of party rides with it.

We're doing the same in Jan. We're checking our DD's carseat and I don't want to wait for it at baggage so she,the DW and my mom will take ME and I'll get the rental car. Then return the rental car to the CCR and take magical express back and use Resort Airline Checkin so not lugging the carseat back thru the airport.
