What time to schedule pickup?

[owenbyd]

Okay, we gave up looking for an airfare sale out of our small-town region so we booked our flight today Pinkbounc ).

Since we will have an 18-month old, we have decided to get a towncar service (maybe FL tours?) so that we can stop for diapers, milk and snacks. I know that the service can meet us when we land at MCO....but what time do you arrange to be picked up from the Port? Our return flight is at 12:30 on Delta...so we can check in at the port, right? AND, we are at a late dinner seating right now, but are hoping to get changed to the early seating by cruise time (called yesterday...still on the list).

What time should I have them pick us up? Is there any information that you can think of that I need to give the service? Does the Towncar wait for you in a specific area? Last cruise, we did Disney transfers back to the park and we were kind of shuffled there when we picked up our luggage!!



Thanks for your help!

Check out the FL Tours website's FAQ section. I found it very helpful when asking some of the same questions.

For our upcoming cruise we requested that the Limo co pick us up at 8:30. We have early seating but are pretty confident that we will be able to get off by then. Our flight is MUCH later than your's but you can check your luggage at the port.

Last time we used your ride and the driver showed us where he would be waiting with all the other drivers. My husband just walked across the parking lot, told him we were there and then he came over to the front door of the port and loaded our luggage and we were off. I am assuming it is the same for all car companies that they park in a specific place and you go get them but I'm not 100 percent sure! It was a short walk to grab him and very convenient! I think with your child that small you will be glad you are doing your own transportation!!! Also someone like FL tours deal with this daily so I'm sure they will know what to do!! I'm sure they all have a pretty good knowledge of the cruise industry and timing.
