Airtran changed our flight times from 7:30AM-9:30AM to 8:00AM-10:00 AM. Do I need to call WDW to update our DME info or is 30 min. not that big of a deal?

TWO DAYS & COUNTING!!!

Thanks

You can call if you want, but for a change of half an hour it shouldn't be necessary, especially since you'll be arriving later rather than earlier. We've had no problem using DME after flight delays longer than that. As long as you use the DME luggage tags, your luggage should be nabbed by the baggage handlers. I think DME just wants the flight information to give them some idea of traffic flow.

Have a great trip!

I wouldn't worry about it. They actually track you by your flight number, not times - so they already know your times have changed.

As long as your flight number hasn't changed, you don't need to call.

DME tracks by flight number and not times. Since it is a 24 hour service you are all set

Thanks everyone!!!

Don't worry about it! A 1/2 hour isn't a big deal, also as someone else stated they go by flight #, so they should be aware of the time change. Have a great trip!

You'll be fine. Have a great trip!

DME doesn't track your flight, they are only concerned with what date you are arriving, so they can account for the correct amount of buses.
