Disney's Magical Express *Arrival* procedures About This Page:

[AGentlRose]

I have another DME question. I received my luggage tags last week, it was the wrong resort, Polynesian, which I originally booked instead of the Grand Floridian which I changed to later, (months ago). So I called Disney and switched back to the Poly, so my mind would be at ease knowing that my luggage would be going where I'm going. My vouchers do not have my flight information, but Disney CRO has it in their computers. Do I need to call anyone before I leave to insure that we are on the list?
Thanks in advance.

if your reservation number never changed, it won't matter. but it was totally unnecessary to switch resorts just to match the tags too.

When is the last DME bus of the night?

Our flight lands about 10:30 p.m. and DH insists that we pick up at least one bag from luggage (w/o putting our yellow tag on of course-I can't blame him, he's had luggage lost before). I just want to be sure that won't risk us for losing a ride to ASM at that hour if we have to wait at the luggage carousel first.

TIA!

If the luggage tags say "Polynesian" wouldn't that mean that whoever picks up the bags from the airport would deliver them to the Polynesian?

Thanks so much! I hadn't even seen this. I should haven let my fingers do some more searching. I appreciate you taking the time to post that.

We have 9 days to go, YAY!!!! but havent received our luggage tags yet.....my MIL has been taking care of booking every thing and she doesnt seemed concerned about it but should she be?? (I'm freaking out!)

[Tonichelle]

your luggage tags arrive a couple of weeks before your departure date, so either they'll be there monday or you need to call.

[JEANYLASER]

Thanks for the info!

If there aren't here today, Monday, give them a call but even if they don't get to you, all you have to do is give the good CM's at the DME counter your claims tickets and they will be more than glad to fetch them for you and get them to your resort.

another quick question... Are the busses always the big touring busses now? Or do they still have some vans with seatbelts? DH was suddenly wondering if we should bring a boosterseat for DD, especially since our flight lands at 11:30 pm *faint*

[w-steele]

During the 2 weeks my DW and I were back there, we never saw anything but the large touring style bus. As for the second question, you should call DME and ask them that but I don't think there is a way to use them on the bus.

Thanks for your answers!
It turns out that we confused them by adding an extra day onto our land/sea package and they are going to try to expedite them, if not we'll see them at the welcome centre.

Okay, here's an odd situation: Our whole family is flying together and we're all taking DME except my dh who is now going to rent a car and join us at the resort. (This is a change in plans. He is on the DME reservation). We want to do a little exploring that first day and some grocery and sundry shopping as well.

My question is this: Can he use his original DME voucher the next day after he returns the car to the airport? Does it matter if it's not on the same day that his flight arrived? If not, can I call and change his "arrival" to the next day and get him a new voucher?

Thanks!
