Mears Bus to MCO--Pickup Time?

[DisneyStarWisher]

We are planning on using Lyft or Uber from MCO to our resort, but I have a question about using the Mears bus back to the airport on our departure day. We are planning on a Boma breakfast before we leave, so we will need to be picked up at Animal Kingdom Lodge. (Don't worry about luggage. We are traveling with backpacks only.) Our flight is at 2:20 p.m. I notice on the Mears website it asks for our flight information, but I'm not seeing where it tells what time the bus will pick us up. It looks like I have to pay for the reservation before it gives me that information. I would rather know the time before paying. Can anyone who has had experience with this give me some information? Thanks!

Just like Disney’s Magical Express, it’ll be 3 hours plus or minus 15 minutes for domestic flights, 4 hours plus or minus 15 minutes for international flights.

Mears connect will show you the pick up time before you get to the payment screen. After you enter flight information and hit next first you will see the info for your arrival, then click next and you'll see the info for departure, there's often a choice of 2 times (but sometimes not). Either way above where it says available vehicle types, it should say available shuttle and pick up at _, arrive at _.

I do not see any of that. I have a screen titled "Ride Details." I put in our pick-up location, departure airline, flight number, and time. A box pops up and validates the flight information. Once I hit Next, the next page is titled "Payment Details" and shows the entered information at the top and a place for my credit card info. The only box I can click at the bottom is "Back" and "Pay Now."

So, I'm a TA, and on my end when I book it, I can see the times. I just checked and you're right, the consumer facing site doesn't show the times when booking. Sorry for the confusion! If you're comfortable sharing or PMing your flight details, I'd be happy to do a dummy booking for you to get the times. Otherwise, the pick ups are generally anywhere from 3 hours, up to 3 hours 40 minutes before a domestic flight. I believe for international they're 4 hours+.
