HELP! How long to Plan Airport to CS

[libinatorsmom]

I am looking at flights for our possible May trip - about ready to book flights. The only two flights home either put us home way early or way late! If we take a 7:15am flight out of Orlando how much travel time would be needed from Coronado Springs to Airport? And what is everyone's experience with time needed at Orlando Airport? 2 Hours before flight leaves??? It is just myself and my daughter and I am pretty sure we could do it but???? HELP!!!! Also is the magical express even running that early or would it be better to just take a cab to the airport???

If you take me they will tell you the time to be ready and waiting at the bus stop. It is generally 3 hour plus or minus 15 minutes. This is the time the bus is scheduled to leave so you are suppose to be there 15 minutes prior. (For international flights it's four hours before). I terms of driving I would say the latest I would leave is 2 1/2 hour before. You need time to check luggage and have a cushion in case of traffic or other delay

DME runs all day/all night...as long as there is a need to get guests to and from the resorts, to and from the airport. For a 7:15am flight, you would be given a p/u time of about 4:15ish...give or take about 15 mins either way, depending on your resort.
And yes, even at that time of day, you need that time. You should plan to be at MCO no less than 2 hrs prior to departure. So, that 3 hrs may seem excessively early but it really isn't. Plan to grab a bite to eat at the airport.

Yep, we've been picked up at 3 am before so we could fly home and I could go to work. It wasn't pleasant, but ME will take care of you.
