How far in advance do you need to check your bags for MCO from the resorts?

We have only used this service twice and we had late afternoon flights so we had plenty of time to check them in. However we are probably taking a noonish flight home in Jan. When would we need to check those bags in at the resort? The ME would pick us up 3 hours before our flight so when do the bags need to be checked in? THANKS
 
At least 3 hours before your flight. I think the hours are 5/5:30 AM until 1/1:30 PM.
 
From the stickie at the top of the page......

Bags may be checked starting at 12 hours prior to flight, up until no later than 3 hours prior to flight departure time. (Bag check process must be COMPLETE by the 3hr mark, regardless of what time the guest gets in line) Please note that this information is subject to change without notice. There have been times when the 3hr mark has been increased to 4hrs. Please check with your particular RAC desk for more details.
Although policy is that they can check luggage starting 12hrs prior to flight, some RAC desks may check luggage greater than the 12 hour mark (still same day only). Again, please check with your particular RAC desk for more details.
Desk is open from 5am-1pm, daily.
