Need Transportation Help! Can I do this with ME??

[Imagineer5]

Hi all! I added on two days at the beginning of my upcoming August trip to go to Universal Studios (and I'm staying onsite there). My thought was that I'd just get a rental car, though my original plan had been to use ME. It will be me and my 2 YO DD, so elminating added transportation is a big plus.

However, rental cars, Universal parking, and gas total about $300. I found a Mears Shuttle from MCO - Universal for $32 round trip. So I am wondering if I take that back to the airport on "Day 3 - original Day 1" can I hop on ME with my luggage in hand? If so, my original flight in was around 10AM - will it be OK to arrive after that (say, the shuttle drops me off at 12, I make it to the ME counter around 12:15)?

Or if you have any easier tips for me, I would love to hear them!

Thank you!

Yes, you can do this. Just update ME with the date/time you need the ride from MCO to WDW.

Thanks! Also - I believe if I don't use ME on the way to WDW I can't use it to get back to the airport at the end of the trip right? (Just trying to minimize wasted time on day 3)

You can book 1 way as well, just let them know which way.

You are entitled to a ride to WDW from MCO, and a return ride to MCO, from your WDW resort, when you are staying at a WDW resort. You can do it round trip, or just one way...up to you. As long as you have a reservation, you'll be fine.
You will be fine showing up basically at any time, with your bags, to ride DME. You don't need to change anything, you don't need to alert anyone...just go to MCO when you're ready to. Your bags will be stowed beneath the bus you are riding in. Be prepared to tip the driver for baggage handling...a few dollars a bag.

For me, with a 2 year old, I would go with the car. SO much more simple. And I would keep it the whole time, too.

Hahaha that is kind of what I am leaning towards as well
