Magical Express Experts

Any Magical Express experts out there?

When I made my reservation for July I told them that I wanted Magical Express. Yesterday I got my bag tags. DH and I decided that because July is so crazy busy (we'll be with a 2yo and don't want to chance the bus system) that we are going to rent a car.

Here's my question, I have the ME bag tags, can I still use them and have Disney bring my bags to the resort even if we don't use ME ourselves? I would think that as long as my bags have the Disney tags on them that the bags will be delivered, but I wanted to check here to see if any one knows the answer. Thanks --less than 5 weeks to go--

Ooh... so I cant use those nifty tags with the reflective picture as normal luggage tags? Or is it if youre just flying into Orlando? I thought they were jsut pretty and wanted to use them regularly but I dont want to lose luggage!

When you book any Magic Your Way Vacation Package you will receive a plastic Walt Disney Travel Company Souvenir Luggage Tag per Guest. These are your free gift, and you are welcome to use them, save them, or trade them with your friends. These tags are not connected with the Disney's Magical Express service.

When you book Disney's Magical Express, you will receive separate DME luggage tags that are used by Disney to claim and deliver your luggage to your Disney Resort. The Magical Express Luggage Tags are paper, bright yellow, with your Resort Room Reservation information encoded on them in both print and special bar codes. If you book Disney's Magical Express, but change your mind and choose not to use it, these are the tags you should not place on your luggage.

The one thing not mentioned is that going into orlando you use DME, but on the way out if the airline is not part of DME you are responsible for getting your bags to the bus, and you have to check-in at the airport yourself. Otherwise you go home but the bags don't. And we have used DME and have never had a problem either. :animwink:
