Uber from Pop to MCO

[PattyN]

We need to be at MCO (from Pop) on a Saturday morning by 7:30. What time should I order an Uber? I've only ever done the bus to the airport so I'm not sure on timing. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Traffic shouldn't be that bad that early, but I would still allow about 45 minutes, so leave Pop at 6:45 (assuming 7:30 is when you need to be at the airport, not your actual flight time). You might want to pre-schedule your pickup as there might not be a ton of drivers around at that time, and it can take them a little time to get to Pop after your request the ride.

We did this last year from pop, but our flight was at 7am so we were picked up at 4:15am. Initially I thought to reserve an Uber but it was an additional $50 so I just ordered one at about 4am. I was worried there would be no available, however within 15 minutes one arrived. I think at your time you'll be just fine to order in the morning.

Yeah, I wouldn’t hesitate on availability. Grabbed a couple 4am rideshares from Disney, no issues. Driver will be there within 15 mins, usually less. Rideshares are a 24/7 thing in Orlando.

Last two times I've scheduled ubers for the next morning, once at home and once at pop, both have changed drivers and I think one flat out cancelled and I had to do it that morning. I no longer find it useful

I have had it work, but that was before those two times. Driver was early, which was great but also made it stressful since I was still in the room planning for the arrival 10+ min later. They were fine waiting but it still bothered me.
