DCL Bus at MCO-What Time Does It Leave For Port?

[disneydebk]

Hi!
Does anyone know what the hours are for the DCL bus to leave the airport and head down to Port Canaveral? Thanks!

I believe they start around 9:30 am and run every half hr or so. Not sure how long they continue throughout the day. On my last cruise, DCL reps were met us as early as 8 am and told us to grab some breakfast and shop around til later. We ended up taking the first bus out. When we came back a week later, our flight wasn't until about 4 pm and there were still DCL reps hanging around waiting for new arrivals at that time.

The first bus usually starts around 9:30AM, but it does depend on when the ship is cleared and people can start disembarking. If the Magic/Wonder is severely delayed, there probably will be a delay at the airport for the busses leaving, as they start their day at Port Canaveral. I overheard a CM complain how people were complaining that the busses weren't ready at 9AM, she then said to the other CM, they just don't understand the bus has to leave Port Canaveral, unload all the passengers and luggage, get double checked by the driver to make sure nothing has been left behind, then it can be re-dispatched to drive out the new passengers.

We were on one of the first buses out of MCO at 9:30 am - plenty of time - hope that helps.
