You should be able to.

That's the sort of thing DME needs to know about in advance, though.

You can be assured that I have told them about my ECV, just hope they don't over look it.

if you can transfer out of it, they don't need to know ahead of time, it can just be stored below. if you need to remain it, that's something they should be aware of.

I wll be using DME. We will be arriving arounf 4:30 p.m. I am not so sure that I want them to deliver my luggage to the room. If we decide to go to baggage claim and get our luggage can we take it on the bus with us without to much hassle. I look froward to any replys from people that wants to do the same thing.

I may be wrong here and if I am, I'm sure someone will correct me BUT if you put the YELLOW TAGS on your checked luggage, it will NOT go to bagage claims but will be picked up by DME before you even see it. If you want to take your bags with you, you should NOT place the tags supplied to you by DME.

putting the YELLOW DME tags on your checked luggage bypasses the baggage carosel completely.

I was reminded how well the "magical" delivery of your bag works on our last trip. We drove a rental car into MCO and boarded DME there. Since we drove in, we had to schlep our own bags. There in an AMAZING difference in the quality of the experience between just getting off the bus and not worrying about your bags, compared to dragging them to the lobby!

Slap the tags on your bags and forget about them! It is SOOOO much more relaxing!

We landed...were on the DME and at our resort in less than an hour. The actual drive time to most resorts is about 30-35 mins.

You know you can have some of the grocery services deliver them to your resort for a fee probably cheaper than a car rental or some other form of shuttle service.
