Why? The CMs you encounter aren't, as far as i know, the ones who pull luggage.but the CM was not happy about having to do it that way.
I was leaving my hometown a week before arriving at WDW. I asked ME what I should do if I didn't have the luggage tags in time, they instructed me to provide the claim tickets when I checked in for the bus.
I too am confused why this would be their stated policy & PP is reporting them being upset by doing what they asked you to do
That makes perfect sense. We have taken a number of cruises and they allow us to print our luggage tags at home. I wish we had that option for Disney. I use packing tape to create the same strength as the Disney tags.You can have Disney pickup your luggage for you even if you didn't receive those yellow tags as mentioned above. The one thing I would NOT try to do is 'recycle' older unused yellow tags from a prior vacation. I can see all sorts of potential issues when they have trouble scanning an old barcode and your luggage could end up lost or at least at the resort you stayed at the prior vacation. The instructions that come with the tags specifically say to NOT cut them in half to try and create 2 from 1 tag, so I don't recommend trying to 'manufacture' them at home.
Has anyone actually received their tags within one week? We booked yesterday and travel on Tuesday, August 27.
