Just wondering if we can purchase one way tickets on DCL trans or Mears from the ship to the airport. I just don't want to leave a rental car in the lot and don't have enough time to get another one, drop it at MCO and make my 11am fight. What do you guys think?
Yes, you can add one-way transfers to your reservation before you leave or you can purchase them after you board the ship by visiting Guest Services. The cost is $25 per person.
You may be cutting it close with an 11:00am flight. DCL recommends scheduling your return flight after 12:30pm. I'm sorry I didn't notice that on your original post.
Early dinner seating is at breakfast at 6:45, late dinner seating goes at 8. You leave the ship after your seating.
Which seating do you have? If you have late, you might want to get some breakfast from Topsiders for in the room so that you can leave the ship earlier. If you have late seating, it will be pushing it to get your luggage, go thru customs, get on the bus to the airport, get checked in and go thru security.
So, you want to be on the first group getting off. It will be close to 8:30 probably when you get thru customs, then you get on busses and when they are full, they leave. Could be anywhere from 9:30 to 10 a.m. when you get to terminal.
Have you considered a private car service picking you up and taking you? Then you would eliminate having to wait for a full bus. That is why Disney suggests not booking a flight until after noon.
