Oh! ...Not using Magic Express.
I'm thinking to reserve a rental car.
FWIW, Magical Express is free and runs between MCO to the WDW hotels only. The cruise bus service is called DCL transfers, and cost $35. per person each way.
Renting a car should be cheaper.
Okay! Hubby doesn't want to drive on this trip, so we'll be using DCL transfer instead. Do you think we'll still be able to make it on time?
Never take one of these DCL transfer before. Don't know how it works.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
We've flown out around that time after all 3 of our DCL cruises and have had plenty of time to spare. We used DCL transfers all 3 times.
Just like Lisa we have taken DCL transfers back to MCO every cruise and no issues at all.

You will be fine. We made a 1045 flight last January. At the time I booked it I didn't do my homework and didn't realize the airport was 45 minutes away. Now, I wouldn't book that early again because everything has to go just right, but we made it with plenty of time to spare.
We had a 12:15 flight and barely made it. There were delays with disembarkation, they couldn't guarantee our luggage would be there in time (so don't check-in your luggage at the boat), and DCL transfer buses left and the other rental agency vans left but we were stuck waiting for ours. Murphy's law. We did ultimately make it on time but it was a bit stressful and a fairly close call.
