Q about DCL airport transfer

[Shadowboxerkd]

We were told we can arrive as early as 9:45 to catch our transfer from MTO. What is the latest you can get there without being late to board the cruise? I don't think this is a big concern but my husband seems insistent on finding this out. He doesn't want to rush with the kids getting out in the morning.

Also, we got luggage tags for our checked bags and the info booklet we got says it will take our checked luggage from the flight straight to the cruise so we don't have to go the baggage claim. However, we are staying in Orlando the night before the cruise and will need our stuff. I'm assuming we just shouldn't put those tags on then? I was surprised it wasn't more obviously stated b/c i can imagine we aren't the only family coming the night before and you wouldn't want to find out that "oops! your clothes are already on the ship!"

Anyway, we have 3 more weeks!!!! I am just as excited as the kids!(what's with the suit?)

Yes, if you are arriving prior to the actual embarkation day, you don't put the DCL luggage tags on until you are headed for check in at the airport for the DCL transfers.

I'm not sure as to the last bus time, but, just as a guess, I'd say the last bus would be departing from MCO somewhere in the 2:30-3:00 timeframe. All aboard is 4:00, I believe, and the trip takes about an hour.
