Magical Express -> Government Shutdown

[kes601]

Has anybody on these boards been on the Magical Express over the last week or so? We have a 7:15 a.m. flight on Monday morning. Just curious how early we may anticipate being picked up from All Star Movies to get to the airport. I know being MLK Day it is going to be a heavy travel day.

Thanks.

Right now? Approximately 4:15 AM, between 4:00 and 4:30. This is your "the bus leaves" time.

This all can, of course, change.

Our flight was scheduled for 9:30 AM last Sunday, our pickup at AKL was at 6:10 AM. We were the last resort stop.
The bus took a different/longer route due to the marathon road closures though. Not sure if the early pickup was due to the marathon or TSA. We left AKL at 6:15 and was past security at 7:15.

Thanks all. I appreciate the answers.

It doesn't appear that the government shutdown has had any serious effect on operations at MCO. DME still picks up about 3 hours before flight time.
