How far ahead of flight home does ME pick up?

[soccerchick]

Just curious, since we have a late flight home. I was trying to plan and see if we'd do a pool day, try to get to a park, etc. Can anyone tell me what your experience was. If I have a 6:30 p.m. flight, when should i expect to have to board the ME bus to MCO?

Also, can anyone tell me for sure, though I think I've read it here, after I check out, can I leave my bags at the resort counter? Again, thanks!!

MS picks up about 3hrs before flight time

If your airline does not check in bags at the resort, the bellhop will be happy to store your bags for you until you return in the afternoon to get on the Magical Express bus back home.

Allow enough time to get back to the resort to be punctual for the bus. Keep in mind that getting your bags back from the bellhop can sometimes take up to 45 minutes depending on the resort and people waiting.

Airline baggage check in at resort: United, Ted, Song, Jetblue, Delta, Continental, American. Possibly Northwest.

Thanks for the replies! We're flying Independence, so we'll have to stash our bags and take them with us. THanks for the tip about waiting to retrieve our bags!
