departing flight

[***tink386]

What is the earliest possible flight that I can schedule and still make it to the airport after we dock back at the Port?

I believe DCL says not before noon. We are booked at 1120. If the boat docs and clears customs without any problems, then there is plenty of time to make that flight. I believe we got to the airport at 10 am in November.

Hope this helps.

I also wouldn't book a flight prior to Noon, but that's just me. Remember if you end up with an early flight, you probably will have to check-in at the airport, since the airlines at the port won't accept baggage less than 3 hours before your flight. The security lines at MCO can be vicious at times, and the earliest you could be expected to be at the airport would be 9AM. With lugging your bags to check-in (DCL doesn't drop you off at curbside check-in) and getting through security, an 11AM flight would be the earliest I'd try.

We booked our cruise which included flights with DCL. They have us flying out of MCO at 11:55.

Well, so much for Disney's own advice on that one! I am surprised you have your flight times already, I thought I had read before that they did come until later. Did you get your docs yet?

DCL will tell you your flights over the phone 30 days before your departure date. The phone number for sea and land is 1-877-566-0967. We do not have our docs yet but other dis members who are cruising on the same crusie received theirs last week. It must take longer for them to deliver to Canada. I am hoping to receive mine today. I am home from work all week so anytime this week would be great.

meshee - have you been given any indication of how they arrive at our doorstep in Canada? My TA just told me that they should be sending them out soon for January but I never thought to ask how they would come?

 

[Meshee]

I think they come UPS to your door but I am not sure if someone has to be home to sign for them.

 

[chasbos]

Well, I work from home and we are usually home. Althought not always in the house (we Farm) so I hope I do not miss the UPS man! They come quite often to drop off packages but mostly from Puralator and they just set in the door.

As long as they come soon! I do not care how they get here!
