no more DME package for uk guests?

[dazzer68]

have just got all my flight tickets and resort confirmation, and inside was a letter from the travel agent, telling me when i get to orlando i have to pick up my DME from the disney desk! why dont they send them out any more, last time we went (3 years ago) we had a nice package from disney, with the luggage labels, booklet and some stickers in a nice disney envelope, which all went into the scrapbook.now no more!

Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if it has at least something to do with the fact that many international passengers are picking their bags up at Airside 4 international arrivals and taking them over to the main terminal on the train, rather than putting them on the recheck belt, which would need to be done for DME to pick up the bags. I remember back when that option was introduced that it was extremely popular and most passengers took advantage of it. (I haven't worked at that airport since last May, but I doubt that this has changed.) Even going around the baggage carrousel in customs, I remember seeing far fewer DME tags than I would have expected for the number of passengers who asked how to get to its counters.
