Timing from MCO to PC

[momto3gr8boys]

In the past, we've always gone from WDW to PC. This time however, we are just doing the cruise and will be using DCL transportation, but we've booked our own air. Our flight gets into MCO at 9:50 am. Approximately how long will it take to get going from the airport once we land? I'm trying to figure out what time frame it will be when we get to PC. Thanks!

The drive is 50 minutes but I have no idea what waiting for DCL transfers and the bus speed will do to that timing.

And waiting for your luggage! It took us nearly an hour from getting off the plane to getting in the shuttle when we went. Our luggage was SO SLOW!

I think it was our airline though.

I want to say the first bus doesn't leave MCO until 11am. It's 57 miles from MCO to PC. So I'm going to say on a none crowded day about an hour.

did you collect your luggage or did you have DCL do it? and do they wait for the bus to be full....say it's half or 3/4 full and the next flight in is a half hour off, would they make everyone sit on board and wait, or is it more continuous than that?

Does the first bus really not leave MCO until 11:00?????????????

That is the time frame they gave me for our cruise on Sunday. We won't make the first bus due to Delta moving my sisters flight back an hour. :

We actually had a private shuttle since we had 12 of us. So we collected our own bags.

Amlee-We are going Sunday too and I just called and they told me the first one leaves at around 10:00. I hope so. 4 DAYS!!!

I don't know about you, but we are getting excited!!



I'm not a bit surprised that you got told a different time. I can call them on Monday about a question. Call back on Wednesday to verify and get told something different. At this point I just have my fingers crossed that everything is going to work out.

That was certainly NOT the case for us. We left on the first bus no later than 9:30 am..I hope it is still the same way..
