Disembark Information Needed

We will be leaving the ship via car service back to MCO. With all the new procedures, how do you time your car service to be at the port to pick you up?

We will be leaving the ship via car service back to MCO. With all the new procedures, how do you time your car service to be at the port to pick you up?

I set ours up for 8:30, knowing that since we had the early dinner seating we would be scheduled for an early breakfast and therefore would likely be one of the earlier groups to be called to disembark. Even if you have the late seating, they want everyone off the ship by 9:00. Are you early or late seating for dinner? Is there somewhere you need or want to be right after getting off the ship?

We ended up not eating breakfast that morning and just headed to the atrium a little before 8:00. We never heard announcements for the disembark groups like we were told they would do. Announcements may have been made and we didn't hear them. There was no line in the atrium to get off the ship. We started off and had to wait only briefly for one of the CMs scanning cards to free up. Lines through customs were almost nonexistent. We paused for maybe one minute to wait for the next customs agent to be available. Our driver had texted that he was in the area around 8:00 even though our pickup time was 8:30. I texted him as soon as we were in the pickup area with the number we were standing under and he pulled up a few minutes later. All told, it took us less than 15 minutes from arriving in the atrium to being at the pickup area, and most of that time was finding our bag after we disembarked.

We have early seating. Headed tp MCO but have plenty of time.

Just got off Dream yesterday. Cabanas is open for breakfast, so if your assigned breakfast doesn't work for you, just head up there. The earliest they let people off yesterday was about 7:15.

It looked like the bulk of the MDR late breakfast crowd (and those who were allowed in after missing early breakfast ) got off and grabbed luggage around 9:30a. I saw a lot of people just loitering in the atrium because I'm guessing they were surprised we were able to debark so early and easily. DCL even made an announcement around 9:15a telling us that everyone could debark and grab their luggage. While waiting for our car, the people working that area of the port told us their shift ended at 11am so there would be enough time for the final guests to leave. It looked like everyone was gone by 10:30a.
