On way transportation to airport

[PK56]

The Magical Express bus leaves " approximately 3 hours prior to takeoff". What is the least expensive way to get from your resort to the airport if you want to squeeze a little more time out of the trip, and how long should you allow to get to the airport if you have already done the online check in for the airline?

thanks.

If you have never flown into MCO before I think the three hour time frame is just about right. Even the towncar service picks us up 2-2 1/2 hours ahead. Depending on the day of week and time of year going through security at MCO can be scaaarryyyy! I a mean we have arrived to see about 700 people waiting to get through security on a Sunday afternoon to fly home. JMHO....I would stick with the ME time frame.

I think a one way towncar service is $60. We always travel with Tiffany Towncars and in all the times they have given us round trip service we have only complained about one driver and they said he no longer worked there. SO we will be using that service for our trip this month. We have not done ME because my DH is impatient and wants a direct line to the resort. Gotta love that man!

For instance my BIL in leaving several days before us. His flight leaves at 4:30 in the afternoon. I have a late breakfast ADR at The Wave around 10:00-10:30. By the time we leave there and get him back it will be 12:30-1:00 and almost time for a pick up. We are leaving at 7:00 p.m. and that is how I am squeezing more time out.....not by reducing the time getting to the airport. Good luck and have a great trip.
