Transportation to airport

[Pipperdoodle]

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I tried the search feature but couldn't find a recent thread on this subject.

We will be going to ASMu in August and have a 7am flight home. We will be taking ME to the hotel, but going back to the airport, ME doesn't start until 5am. Can anyone recommend a private shuttle, car service, whatever that can pick us up at the hotel at 4:30 am? (I can't believe I'm even writing that. What I will do to save several hundred dollars! ) I don't think that we will have enough time if we rely on ME and they have other stops after ours.

I figured if anyone knew, it would be the all knowing Disboards!

Thanks,
Laura

ME runs 24 hours. Its just the luggage check in desk that won't be open that early. You'll take your luggage with you and check it at the airport yourself.

I thought I read that it started at 5. I knew that I would get a great answer on the boards. Thanks so much!

Since you will be unable to use RAC, you will need to find alternate transportation. You can find all the info on the transportation board.

I KNOW ME runs that early beacuse I have used it! LOL! Yes, you will just check your own bags. I tend to favor curbside but at that early hour, lines should not be much of an issue anywhere.

Why do you think she cannot use ME?
Why should she find alternate transportation?

ME and RAC are 2 separate things. The OP will be able to use ME (transportation to the airport) because it operates 24/7 and they are staying at ASMu.

RAC is the "curbside" luggage check at the resort which they won't be able to use because it opens at 5 AM. With RAC, luggage has to be checked in no later than 3 hours before the flight departure time. The OP will have to take their luggage with them on the ME bus and check in their bags at the airport.

There is no need for them to find alternate transportation.

This sums it all up! Exactly right.
