Help with timing

[cadenleesmom]

We arrive at MCO at 4:15pm tomorrow! YEAH! I have a car service scheduled to take us to the Dolphin with a quick grocery stop for snack food, beer & water. What time you think we could be on our way to DS? I am trying to schedule a Lyft in advance. Would 6:30pm be reasonable for pick up or should I push it to 7pm?

Thanks!

If everything goes perfectly to plan, sure, 6:30 would work.

With arrival day, I always budget a 4 hour block with nothing booked because flight delays are always a possibility, especially in the afternoon when florida storms are common. After many afternoon arrivals delayed by up to 5/7 hours due to afternoon storms, we actually stopped booking any flight arrivals that get in after 1pm.

So I honestly wouldn't advise booking the lyft/uber in advance. You don't need to--you can pick up an uber/lyft in the app when you are closer in time to being ready to go.

Agree, there is no need to book in advance. All "scheduling" does it send a general request 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Just book it when you're ready to go.
