Towncar or stick with ME? Arrive the same day as PW

[chuckml]

We are booked for ME on our 12/5--12/12 trip. I know that Pop Warner arrives and departs the same days.
Should I book a towncar instead? This will be our first experience with ME, so I'm already a little nervous about it.
Any info or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't think you will have a problem. A lot of Pop Warners drive. Also, ME will add or remove busses depedning on demand. It shouldn't really be a huge issue!

I arrived the same day they did last Dec..yes, it was crowded around the DME area, but it only took us about 10-15 mins longer than anticipated to get to our resort. Just wasn't a big deal.
You will find that some PW families will go home on Sunday, some on Friday..it all depends. But, yes, it will be crowded going back, but the buses hold only so many people. If a lot of people are traveling on any one day, Disney will put more buses out there.
Hopefully you are flying home on a 'participating' airline and will be able to use RAC to check your bags that morning. Otherwise, you may need all that extra time at MCO to check your bags.

Thanks. We are flying airtran, so we can use the RAC.
I knew I was probably worrying too much about it, but wanted to get some input from others.
Thanks again everybody!

If you are in a hurry, get a car service. If you dont mind waiting, and sometimes it can be longer then what you'd like, take DME.. Or if you decide last minute you dont want to take DME, grab a cab
