We have a 7 am return flight. Can we still use DME or are we out of luck?

Sure. But you can't use Resort Airline check-in.

DME runs 24/7 but as the PP said you can't use RAC as that has limited hours of 5a to 12 noon.

great! thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure we would have a ride to the airport. with 8 of us i wanted to make sure i didn't have to arrange other transportation.

You will be getting picked up around 4 am.

@phins_jazy are you a Parrot Head by any chance?

Unfortunately...yes But, the bus comes 3 hours before your flight times (and mine always come more than 3 hours before ) and it's a VERY early morning and not a great way to finish a trip. I avoid it, if at all possible.

We even flew and tent camped at FW (i.e. no car) and I had to get up at zero dark thirty and take the tent down in the dark and had prearranged pick up with FW to take us from camp site in a van with our stuff to the ME bus stop.

Sometimes I just plan a late night the night before and go take a "nap" and then right back out to the bus (usually when I'm flying out for work on an early flight).

Ugh, its a dreadful proposition. I much prefer an afternoon ME ride that looks like this. Plan morning EMH that opens at 8am. Get to RAC with bags just before 7am, check my carry ons with the bell hop at the resort, then out to the parks. Come back to resort later in the day, pick up carry ons and hop on ME.

But, I know it's not always an option, I'm just sad for you...
