Staying at Yacht/Beach. Have TSA pre-check, will be checking bags (pre-paid).

What time would you call an Uber? I don't think we need to do 3 hours early like Magical Express picked up, but I also never really paid attention to traffic since we weren't driving.

thank you.
 
We too have TSA PreCheck and prepaid checked luggage. We like to arrive at MCO about 2 hours before flight time, because we’ve seen some long bag dropoff and PreCheck lines, and we’d rather sit at the gate a bit than run through the airport wondering whether we’ll make our flight. It takes approximately 30 minutes to drive from WDW to MCO, so we’d leave between 5:00 and 5:15. So I’d summon the Uber around 5:00, to allow 10-15 minutes for them to arrive and for us to load the luggage and get on the road. I’m sure others will post that you don’t need to leave that early - obviously, it depends on what your tolerance is for waiting at the airport vs. sleeping a few minutes later!
 
I would leave Y&B no later than 5:30am, which means you should request your Uber/Lyft in the app around 5:15-5:20am.. This would have you arriving at MCO about 1.75 hours before your flight which is reasonable with TSA pre-check and checked bags.. IMO, I would not arrive any later than this considering how busy of an airport MCO is..
