My mother's flight leaves at 6am, should arrive before 8am at MCO. Is DME going to pick her and her DH up upon arrival or will she have to wait for them? The last time they flew in to MCO they left at 7am and arrived before 9am. They had to wait for Mears, whose operations started at 9am.
 
Last week while visiting WDW, I asked a DME driver if there were specific hours that they ran. We had a rental car, but I needed to know the answer since we were returning with teens in early January and were planning on using DME. The driver said they are a 24 hr operation, to and from the airports/resorts.

Perfect answer snooper. I'll advise my mother that she should have no worries about waiting around the airport for any length of time.
 
Good to know that they are 24hr. We arrive at 0613 and I was worried that we may have to hang around MCO waiting fo DME. :goodvibes
 

We're catching a red-eye and arriving at 5:20am, which prompted my question to the driver. Be sure that you confirm your reservations. Last week I noticed that the DME greeters are less noticeable at the airport--but still easy to find. I saw one holding a DME sign at the bottom of the escalator (just as the limo drivers do). At the start of DME last May they were REAL obvious, waving Mickey hands and lots of fanfare.

Just another confirmation. I spoke with the Disney and they affirmed they run all the time 24/7. After the ruckus by the limo/tax drivers, Disney had to move from their very promient site to where everyone else is. In th packages with your DME tags, they explain where to meet them at.
