Last flight out of MCO for DME reservation?

[DopeyDame]

We have a return flight early on a Monday morning, so we're staying at the MCO Hyatt Sunday night. I'd like to take the DME Sunday evening from the Yacht club to the airport, so I'm trying to find the latest flight out of MCO to give DME as my "return flight" so we can have the longest day possible on Sunday. The latest I'm finding in September is ~8:45. Am I missing something? Has anyone found a later flight to use for their reservation? Is there anywhere to see what flights are scheduled at MCO on all airlines?
Thanks!

I can't answer your question but wanted to suggest taking a cab. Sure it may be an unnecessary expense when you can use DME for free, but it would allow you the whole evening at the park without clock watching the whole time.

You're making this too complicated. Call DME. Tell them what you're doing and ask for the latest possible pickup time. DME is still sending buses back to MCO to pick up guests after the latest required pickup time. DME can have one of those buses pick you up. Make sure you're early. There will not be a later bus, the driver could be a few minutes early and I doubt he'll wait. Posters who've done this have gotten later pickups then they'd get if they "gamed the system"

To answer your question. MCO website shows departures. Pick a couple of flights then go the airlines site and make sure it's flying on your date.

FWIW latest flight yesterday was Jetblue 767 23:25 departure. That's an international flight, pickup would be around 8:30. There are many flights arriving after 8:30p. Some buses transporting guests from MCO will be returning to the airport empty.

edited pick up would be around 7;30

Awesome! I tired doing that once several years ago and the DME people told me they had no way of entering a reservation into the system without a flight number. That was a while ago, though, so I'll give it a try again. Thanks!

Many people have done exactly what you want. Call DME and tell them what time you need to be at MCO. They should then give you a pickup time about 30 mins prior to the time you gave them.
