7:30p MCO departure - What time will ME pick up?

[Thomasboys]

Hi, we have a 7:30p flight out of MCO coming up and I'm trying to get a ballpark idea of what time Magical Express might pick us up? I'm mentally prepared for 3:30p -- is that about right??

Is it domestic travel? Generally Domestic is 2.75 - 3.25 hrs. before flight. So, for a 7:30 flight; you're looking at a ME pick-up time of somewhere around 4:30. You'll need to be at the stop at least 10 mins. prior, as those times are the times the buses are supposed to pull out of the resort, not necessarily get there. If you're needing to pick-up luggage; I'd say back it up another 20 mins. or so. At the very latest; I'd be at your resort at the luggage counter a half hour before your ME pick-up time.

International is 4 hrs. prior to flight.

Yep, domestic. Thank you, this is very helpful!

In all the years that I have used DME, it has always been right around the 3 hour before my flight mark.

We usually get picked up right around that 3 hour mark - give or take 10 minutes. Our last trip was almost 4 hours though (for a domestic flight). We weren't very happy about that. We have pre-check and travel carry on only, so it literally amounts to us sitting in the airport for 3 hours.
