Fastest ground transportation from DCL Port to airport

[Paula H]

We have a noon flight out of MCO the morning our cruise comes in. We'd planned on renting from Alamo at WDW, driving to the Port, parking at the Port, then getting off the ship ASAP after it clears to make our 12:00 flight home. The rental is pricey - I'm assuming that's because we want to rent from one place and return to another. Anyway, we've never even considered a towncar service....and, I'm thinking that I don't want to use the DCL buses because of our time constraints. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My advice is to book a later flight. I was just on a RCCL cruise that arrived three hours late into port, they didn't even start dismbarkation until after 9:30.

Booking a later flight is not an option. We were on a later flight, but Song consolidated flights and put us on this new one that leaves at noon. All other flights home that day on Song are sold out.

We just made reservations through budget and it cost us about $80 total. That's a one day rental to the port and a 1 way rental back to the airport!!

hope this helps,

Should have booked a flight the next day immediately upon discovering the change (they may not charge you ANything more), or cancelled to book on another airline. Staying overnight won't be that much more than an expensive emergency quick trip back to the airport.

Forget that, they don't have time to screw around renting a car on the return to the airport. They need a reliable car service who will be waiting for them as soon as they get off.

For my last Disney cruise (Jan. '05), my nephew and I were some of the first to be off the ship. I booked with Sunray Transportation for an 8am pick up and they were there waiting for us when we got off the ship. Clean, comfortable vehicles. Friendly, safe drivers. Just explain your situation and I don't doubt that Sunray will do their best to get you to the airport on time. I've used them for my past three trips and highly recommend them.
