Hi everyone,
We plan on taking the DCL bus to Port Canaveral on the morning of our cruise---but before booking it, I wanted to be sure you can get the bus early in the morning (we have to be to the port by noon---we are getting married on the cruise)! I know the DCL buses from the Disney hotels don't get you to port until late, but do the buses come to the airport to get you early in the morning? Does anyone know what time they start running?
Thanks!!
 
DCL transfers start running from MCO around 9:15am and will depart approximately every 20 minutes or when full (whichever is first).

Best wishes on your nuptials and enjoy your cruise!

lanejudy is correct. They start filling buses around 9:00 and the first one departs around 9:15-9:20. I was on the first bus, we left around 9:20 and arrived at the port around 10:20. We had to sit on the bus for a few minutes since the terminal wasn't quite ready for us yet.
 

In February we were checking in for the bus at 8:45 and on the first bus. We arrived about 10:10, they spoke to us for a few minutes, then we were off and the first group in the terminal. It was amazing seeing it empty!!!
 
I know you already got your answer but just wanted to add my congrats to your upcoming wedding. That is a very cool way to get married :tinker:

Same scenario as us last month.

Just make sure that you get down to check in for the bus around 8:30 or so. We did this in Nov. and there was a large family group in line in front of us and we barely made it onto the first bus. You will get there around 10:30 and it is cool to see the terminal so empty. Have fun and Congrats!!
