We have used DME for our last four trips to WDW. Twice we received the yellow tags and twice we didn't. Both times we had to spend extra time checking in at the DME desk (describing luggage etc,) and the last time we ended up waiting in line for our bus for over a half hour with no place to sit. Our feeling is that the service at DME has gone down-hill as of late. This last trip our luggage arrived at the room in a timely manner, trip before that our luggage arrived at the room at 8:30 pm (a full 10 hours after the plane landed at MCO). At WDW you never see people soliciting "tips" but on the DME buses the drivers are posting signs saying tips are "greatly appreciated". For what? We carried our own carry-on bags aboard the bus. Next trip we are going back to limousine service, at least we will know are bags will get there when we do (which will be sooner than the bus would get us there). Disneys' Magical Express is to us another good idea gone bad.
