Can I use ME?

[imamicki2]

Here is my situation:
I am flying into MCO but being picked up by my parents then staying with them for a few days. After that they may drop me back off at MCO (only if ME can pick us up and take us to Pop for the rest of our stay) Is this possible if we didn't arrive on a plane but just got "dropped" off at the airport? Do I have to provide them with flight info if we didn't actually fly in that day? Naturally, we would have our own baggage already with us. No need for them to deliver. Can we just go up to the ME counter or whatever it is and show our hotel confirmation and get a shuttle? Trying to get out of renting a car and saving that money for something else. Lord knows we'll need it! I do know that we can definately use the shuttle from our hotel to the airport when going home, I just need to know about the "being dropped off" part of it. Worse comes to worse - maybe my parents can just drop us off at Pop themselves? Anyone know which is closer? MCO or Pop from Ocala?
TIA

POP is closer.

Ok , well then that solves my dilemma. They can just drive me to Pop. BUT, if for some reason they make us take the shuttle from their place to MCO (this shuttle only goes to the airport not hotels) , can I still use ME if we are just "dropped" off at the airport? I know, I know, I worry too much, but I need a backup plan in case they don't want to drive us all the way back.

I have a similar question (different circumstances - we might be renting a car to visit friends for a day before going to WDW), so I'd love to know the answer.

I would call the ME for an answer to this one and the one that followed yours. Or call CRO.

People not eligible for DME are being sent to the Mears desk to buy a ticket and then go back to the DME area to wait, and take, a DME bus. Mears isn't taking reservations to Disney resorts but they're still accomodating, using DME buses, guests who need that service.

It'll be easier if you get dropped off at POP otherwise give DME flight information for the day/time you expect to be dropped of at MCO.

... pick a flight, any flight, any airline, that arrives ...

BINGO! They don't actually check to see if you got on the plane!!!
