How many hours before your flight did DME pick you up to get back to MCO?

I am just trying to get an idea of the average time they schedule your pickup. I am asking for domestic flights...how many hours before the flight are you required to be out front?

You will be assigned a time to leave that will be 3 hours (plus or minus 15 minutes) before your flight. You need to be at the platform, completely ready to go, 15 minutes before that.

 

[Hopefully]

As Alesia stated it is about 3 hours before your scheduled flight. Buses are scheduled based on the reservations of guests. There is not a routine bus "scheduled route". If you miss your bus, you are most likely on the hook for an expensive cab ride to the airport, as there is not "next scheduled bus" guarantee. If no one else is scheduled to leave the resort for 3 hours, the next bus would be in 3 hours. And even if there was a bus soon, it could very well be full.
So best advice is to be at the DME stop at your resort about 15 minutes before your scheduled pickup
Have Fun

1) All trips to MCO are schedule every 30-minutes from your resort.
. . . the pickups are 30-minutes from each other
. . . the pickups are always the same times for the same resort
. . . example: 4:05pm and 4:35pm
2) They stop ONLY when there is an scheduled pickup appointment.
3) If you miss your bus, there is no way to tell when the next one might appear.
. . . buses dropping off from MCO cannot pickup guests going to MCO
. . . you must wait for a bus going to MCO
4) You will notified the 2nd night prior to your flight day of your schedule time.
5) An as example (using the above times):
. . . flight time at 7:25pm
. . . DME pickup scheduled at 4:05pm
. . . allows a minimum of 3-hrs from resort until flight time

Remember that the time they give you is the time when your bus will LEAVE your resort - as others have said, be ready and waiting at the bus pickup at least 15 minutes earlier than that.
