Sorry, I can't seem to find this answer. Does anyone know what time they start picking up for departures in the morning for the return back to MCO from the disney resorts?

Thank you!

They will pick you up about 3 hours before your flight (4 hours for international flights.)

There really isn't a start time since DME operates 24/7. As @Alesia notes above, your pickup time depends on your flights.

So they would run at 3:20 am? We have a 6:20 am flight.

As OKW Lover noted, DME operates 24/7. So yes, they would run at 3:20 AM.

Be aware that at that hour, you'll need to take your own bags to the airport as RAC won't be open for the day yet.

Yes. Your schedlued pick up time will be sometime between 3:00 and 3:30. You need to be at the platform, completely ready to go, 15 minutes before that .

Yep, because the time they give is actually the bus departure time from the resort not pickup which is about 15 min earlier.

Yes. I've had a 6:30AM flight more than once and they picked us up that early.

We did a 6 AM flight going home on our first trip. We were lured into it with a nice early arrival time back home, but never again. Just too darn early for an old guy!

Any word on how the lines have been getting through security at MCO? Just wondering.

Last week security was a bit of a line but not too bad! The thing was that there were two merge points. I got in a line, showed my license and boarding pass after which 4+ lines had to merge into one then once we were all in one we reached another check point where all of their 4+ lines had to merge in with us. The agents kept saying don't stop moving, keep moving. I wish I had gone to that second checkpoint. Also, there was a dog so there were no bins and everything had to go in your bag. We did not show liquids nor take shoes off, they said that was because of the dog.
