We have been using Southwest for several years now and have had no problem with them. We have been carrying our own bags and have never put the ME tags on. The only thing I can tell you is if you carry your own bags, you pick them up in Orlando at the lower level of the B terminal but the ME is located in the lower level of the A terminal. So therefore you have to go back up to the 3rd floor and across the airport main section and back down to the lower level with your bags. But it's not that long of a walk. You're going to do a lot more walking on your vacation. And there are elevators.
