Magical Express without flight- HELP

[mommy4]

So, here's the deal, we waited too long to decide on this vacation and now we may have to drive down and back or maybe fly one way. I've already booked magical express. Can we catch it from the airport if we drop off a rental car there? Can we get back at the end of our trip on magical express and then get a rental car from the airport to drive back? TIA

Yes, you are entitled to a trip to WDW and a trip to MCO within your dates, no matter what mode of transport you use to get there.

I have given DME a airline and flight number so they don't get confused. Last trip I wanted to go to the airport about 9am to pick up a rental car before we checked out. I gave them a flight leaving at noon and all worked out great.

Thanks! So, I can just call them and give them a bogus flight for when we leave and the magical express will pick us up 3 hours early? should I make this up or find an actual flight?

You will need to pick an actual flight; because they track them in case of changes in times. Happens a great deal.

If you want to be at the airport at three, pick a flight at noon and arrive at the fifteen minutes before it departs.

If one picks a flight that leaves at noon, ME would pick you up at about 9am. To get to the airport at 3pm, pick a flight that leaves at about 5 or 6 pm.

Last trip we went to Universal for a couple of days and rented a car at the airport. After checking out of our hotel at Universal I drove over to The Boardwalk checked in Dropped off the family and our luggage and then I returned the car to the airport and took DME back to the boardwalk. When we left we took DME back to MCO. I was up front when I booked the trip and told the CM making the reservation this was what I wanted to do and they had no problem with it.
