Ok, sorry but I am a bit lost, I scheduled a Limo service at arrival as its a little treat for my family to get things started.....If we do NOT get our bags and they do have the yellow tags on them DME WILL pick them up and deliver them to our resort right?? I just dont want them lost during our trip and we have no clothes
.The not having to lug them around the airport does sound VERY nice
.
TIA

The purpose of this thread is to try and explain what the policy is regarding using DME for luggage transfer only.
Disney will tell you that you must ride the bus in order to have your luggage delivered..that DME is not a luggage transfer service. It is basically a 'perk' of using DME and the bus.
Many have tagged their bags and then used some othr mode of transportation to their resort, with their luggage arriving just fine. Some of us have an issue with the situation where the airline looses, or misdirects, some of your luggage. You haven't checked in at the DME counter, they have no idea you have arrived and how many bags you have checked, so they don't know that you should have 4 bags but only 3 arrived. So, they won't be looking for that bag. So....worst case scenario is that you get to your resort at, lets say noon, get checked in and then head off to a park for the day. You return around 9pm, get to your room and you find that you have 3 bags sitting there, not 4. So you all the front desk.
Now, at this point no one is really sure what happens. You haven't 'used' DME in the manner you were supposed to, so is Disney/DME liable for tracking your bags?? We don't know. I'm sure this situation has occured but no one here has told us about it. Don't forget, only a very small percentage of WDW guests actually read and post on these boards.
So...long story short....if you tag your bags, DME will grab them and deliver them for you. But, all bets may be off if the airline misdirects a bag. It's up to you to decide how you want to do things.
