How do you reserve?
It is not automatic?
I did give them my flight information online but my vouchers do not have flight information.
Ah maybe I should just cave in and rent a car :goodnevil
Cave in? Why? Why waste money if you're just looking for transportation to and from the airport and your resort!
DME has served almost 4 million passengers so far. I can't believe all of them are smarter than you, that they can figure it out and you can't.
DME isn't automatic. If you don't have a reservation, you can't catch a ride -- walk-ups aren't allowed, as per the contract with the airport.
If your trip is 60 days away or less, call DME directly at 866-599-0951. If your trip is more than 60 days away, call the regular Disney CRO number and make your DME reservations that way. The database used by DME CMs does not include any information on guests more than 60 days out. But CRO has access to everything.
The system really couldn't be simpler. Get a reservation. Receive materials in the mail. Slap a DME luggage tag on each bag you will check. Check them in at your home airport like normal. After you land at MCO, skip baggage claim and go directly to the DME Welcome Center (everyone on every airline can do this). Check in, then get in the correct bus queue as assigned. Board your bus. Driver will load your carry-ons under the bus if you wish, but you may take them on the bus with you if they're small enough to fit under your own seat or on the overhead shelf. Get dropped off at your resort.
People who for whatever reason didn't receive their DME luggage tags can STILL use the automatic luggage delivery perk. They still skip baggage claim. At the DME Welcome Center, the CM asks everyone if they put DME tags on their checked bags. When you say "No," you'll be asked for your baggage claim ticket number(s), as well as a physical description of each bag, as identified using a photo array. They will dispatch a CM to go to the baggage claim carousel, claim your bags for you, then take them back behind the scenes and put them with the rest of the DME luggage.
Early in the morning on the day before you leave, you'll get DME info hanging on your doorknob. This will inlcude your assigned DME bus pick-up time. People flying one of the "participating airlines" can also use a separate service called Resort Airline Check-in, where they can check in their luggage and receive boarding passes right there in the lobby of their WDW resort. People not flying one of those participating airlines still get the bus ride, but they have the driver load their bags under the bus, and then they get them back once they pull up to MCO. They then check in with their airline just like any other time you'd go to an airport.
