When to make DME reservations

[boomersmom]

How far ahead do you have to call to make reservations for DME?

It is recommended you make reservations at least 30 days in advance. That way you get your travel vouchers and luggage tags before your trip.

Having said that, you are only REQUIRED to make reservations before you land at MCO.

I asked this question of DME directly.

One of these days, not sure when, but I have a goal to wake up on a Friday morning, go to work, book Disney resort, airfare, and DME to arrive at WDW on Friday night, then return home Sunday night. I'll run to the house for lunch and pack a few things, then head to the airport after work. It's a bit more difficult now that Delta just totally changed the times of our two direct flights from our local airport, BUT SW has an 8:30pm direct flight on Friday nights, and an 8:30 pm flight back on Sunday nights, so that may work.

(It's my goal to do this before my AP expires on 10/28). I called DME to see if I was eligible, and they said yes.

US Air has also changed flight times for us. If you make reservations and your flights change, do you just notify DME?

I like to notify them if my flight changes by more than 45 mins or so. They like to be able to plan how many buses, and where they are going to, so it's nice to give them a heads up.
