Originally Posted By Devinparis Ok I called WDTC and they told me that they don't even send out the tags until 14 days prior even though I have a paper here from the WDTC that says 21 days. So I guess I call DME and ask them.
Originally Posted By Devinparis Actually I decided to call them just to see what they say and the woman on the phone was wonderful. She told me that my tags were printed on the 6th and she explained the whole process to me and what to do if they don't show up and how they will just pull my bags from baggage claim instead of before. So I do feel much better now that i've called.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ Ahhh!!!!! I STILL don't have our tags When I called, they didn't even have us in the system! Our travel agent is trying to reach her contact to see what is happening.
Originally Posted By Devinparis If they can get you in the system and you don't have time to receive tags then what the woman told me to do is go to the DME counter to check in and give them a discription of you bags and the baggage claim info and they will get your bag that way. I was told that they usually pull the luggage before it goes to baggage claim, but they can just as easily pull it after. Or you can always pull your own luggage at baggage claim and bring it to the bus yourself. The woman I spoke with at DME was very helpful and explained the whole process to be and I felt alot better about it after I called. If it would make you feel better then you should call them. I hope you get everything worked out and have a stress free vacation.

Originally Posted By SuzieQ Oh, don't apologize! You've been extremely helpful! It just tickled my funnybone at the thought of how I would describe all those bags. It sounds like at worst, maybe they will have to grab their own bags and take them to the DME with them. No big deal! I just wish someone knew what was going on.

However, I'll have to call them because, for some reason, none of our flight information is entered for arrival or departure. (?) It says, "No flight information provided." What??? I have gone over that twice with the DME agent. I will say...the little booklet is nicely done and quite informative.
Originally Posted By SuzieQ Looks like we're going to claim our own bags, which works out fine. Competitive level paintball guns are very expensive, and the team wanted to check their bags before leaving the airport anyway. We'll still be on the buses. Going back, we HAVE to check the bags with guns ourselves and lock them in front of the agents, so that works fine too. Bags without paintball guns can get tags from the front desk when we check in to the hotel.
Originally Posted By Labuda Oh, man! That stinks that DME isn't going to work out for y'all the way it should have, Suzie! Only a minor inconvenience that you'll have to claim your own bags, but still... Then again, smart that the kids want to check out their guns before leaving the airport so they can immediately escalate iwth the airline if need be.
