Flight out of MCO

[KashasMom]

If we do walk off (from Concierge) can we make an 11:20 at MCO? We'll be flying Jet Blue out of Terminal C - I think security is shorter there? We'll have car/limo pick up.

I have done exactly that - concierge walk-off, private car pick-up, early flight - and haven't had any problems. I only bring carry-ons, however, do not check bags and have TSA pre-check.

You can make that easily even with a Disney bus. Private car you'll be there before 9am.

You can also use MCO reserve for security. We have found terminal c very easy to get through.

I have heard Terminal C is a breeze. With walk-off (you need to keep your bags with you) and a private car? Should be fine barring anything major happening on highway between the port and the airport. And any delays with ship at port.

One word of caution. I'm off the Fantasy recently and it took a half hour just to get out of the port area due to the construction on the road between the port and 528. Make sure you leave as early as possible.

MCO can be a nightmare. We did NOT walk off, picked our bags up in the terminal, used Disney transfers and they got us to MCO by 9:15 am. We had our bag checked and our boarding pass in hand and in the security line by 9:30 am. Good Lord, we barely made a 12:35 pm flight, it was boarding by the time we cleared security.
So my word of caution is, getting off the SHIP is not the issue, the AIRPORT SECURITY is. Have people made a flight that early? Yes. But too many others have not. Skip the stress and just book a later flight, 1 pm or later, budget for a nice lunch at the airport. When ruin a relaxing vacation with travel stress?
