What do I need to know about coming home?

[tchrrx]

I am flying Delta and using ME. I think I know what I need to know in order to get us to WDW. However, I have no idea how to get us back home. (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...I wouldn't mind staying a little longer!) My flight leaves around 11 am. Where do I meet ME at to get back to the airport? Will I need my luggage at the bus stop or wherever with me, or does someone get it from our room for us? Upon arrival at the airport, what needs to be done? Will I just grab my boarding passes and go through security like normal or will my boarding passes need to be taken care of ahead of time? I'm guessing that I'll have control of my own luggage so that I can put on the tags to get it back to my home airport, but I'm not sure.

Thanks for your help in figuring out how to get me to WDW. Now, please help me figure out how to come home! Thanks!

You meet the DME bus out in front of your resort (where it dropped you off, if that's how you got from the airport; otherwise, just ask at the Remote Check In Desk).
You will get a packet of information on/under your door the day before you leave; this will include the time of your pickup - 2.75 - 3 hours before your flight, so about 8 AM, and you're advised to be there about fifteen minutes early.
You can bring your luggage to the RCI Desk in advance of that time (3 - 12 hours before your flight departs AND between 5:30 AM and about 1 PM; both conditions must be met, and you apparently can do that) or have Bell Services bring it. You check in at that desk and check your luggage through from there to your home airport. Then you get on the bus when it arrives and, unfortunately, you're off to the airport.

to expand about what kaytieeldr said

At least 45 minutes before ME is scheduled to pick you up, call bell services to get your luggage and you are checking out

Tell him that the luggage needs to go to the airline check in desk. Everybody in you party follows him to the desk. They take the luggage, you check in, get your boarding passes and then wait for ME.

At the airport, get off the bus and go to security (no need to go to the ticket counter or worry about luggage), and go to your gate.

Fly home.

Get your luggage from the carousel at your home airport.
