DME Pickup Time

[heagandy]

Is there any way to find out your DME pickup time/bus itinerary from your resort ahead of time? We have a trip coming up in March and our flight home is at 9AM. I know they typically pickup 3+ hours early and our stop may not be the last. I am trying to figure out if it is worth spending the extra dollars to extend our rental car out to get a little extra sleep or not. I'm not too worried if it would give us an extra 15, but if it could be closer to an hour or more I'm thinking it might be worth it.

Any insight is greatly appreciated

Ballpark it around 530-6 AM. You won't really find out the pick up time until the night before though.

Its generally 3 hours +/- 15 mins. So I agree that 5:30-6am is a fair assumption. What you really have to decide is whether its worth it to pay for an extra night on the rental car and hassle with returning it in the morning, when it will only give you maybe an extra 30 minutes of sleep. If its a weekday, I'd want to leave the resort around 6:15 if I had to drive myself and return a rental. That would put you at the airport around 6:45, rental car return/shuttle if necessary makes it 7-7:15, plus security and if you want to grab breakfast. I don't think you gain that much time by driving yourself.
