Excellent

We arrived after midnight.....we were told at that time the bags could not be delivered, so we simply took them to the bus....and got them on arrival at the hotel (Wilderness lodge)

Going home.....flawless....checked the bags at the hotel, and picked them up in Chicago.

Kids loved it.....Dad (me) loved it more......no stress!:animwink:

eh, it was ok. More convenient then renting a car...but they lost our bags, and we didn't get them for about 9 hours. Also, it really irked me that they played Shrek for the in-bus movie, both to and from the resort That kind of killed the magic. But hey, it beats an expensive rental car!

I thought it was great!

Our only "problem" wass the luggage tags didn't get sent to us. It wasn't a major issue, we just checked our bags through to MCO as usual and went to DME check in with a print-out of a digital picture of our bags and our baggage claim stubs. They recorded the claim stub data and a description of our bags [made easier by the print-out] and sent us to our bus. They found our bags and delivered them to the resort. No problem.

If you don't take a photo of your bags, they have a large laminated chart with pictures of every conceivable type of bag and you can search through it to find what yours look like. I saw one couple arguing over what there bags looked like and how many they actually had :veryconfu That could delay you a little!

Easiest alternative for me is getting a town car to come get you. We have a 15 month old and a 6 year old and we're heading back in October. We'll be using a town car service to and from the airport.

We used ME in October and absolutely loved it. No snags or problems at all. I don't have any idea what time the bags made it to our room, we were out past midnight. It is especially great on connecting flights, not having to worry about gathering bags. We had to wait 15 minutes on a bus to take us to the resort and didn't have to lug bags. We are using it again in 25 DAYS!!!

Sounds positive... :king:

Well, we are back now and used ME again. Again, it went flawless! This time we actually only waited 5 minutes to board the bus for Pop. No missing luggage, no problems whatsoever. Greatest idea since Fastpass!

My friends and I were really wary of DME the first time we used it, so we only took carry-on bags.

It worked out well, no problems...

I think I will continue to bring only a carry-on bag. It saves me the worry of not knowing where my bags are, or if they will be delivered to my room...

I've used it many times with no problems. I love being luggage free, I agree it is the best thing since fast pass.
