What time will I get back to the airport after the cruise?

[Tawnyafitz]

I need help trying to determine what time to book my air flight home after the cruise. Last time we drove and so it wasn't an issue. I remember disembarking early but I cannot remember what time. What is a safe time to book my return flight? Thanks.

If it were me, I would not book a return flight before 1PM. That is just me though.

DCL recommends no earlier than 11:30.

DCL recommends you book flights no earlier than 11:30. When we've taken the DCL bus to MCO, we've always gotten there before 10:00, even when we had late seating for breakfast. If we'd actually tried to get to MCO early, we could have easily gotten there before 9:00. Keep in mind that the TSA lines at MCO can be extremely long and slow moving.

We came back from our trip on June 4 this year and I had the same question. We had an early MDR seating so our breakfast was at 6:45. I think we were off the ship and in the Disney bus by 8:30, arrived at the airport by 9:30. For us checking bags was the worst line. If we had booked an 11 or 11:30 flight we would have made it but barely and I'm glad we didn't have that worry. However, the flip side of that was the only other flight for us was at 1:30 and we had plenty of time to kill in the airport for that one. I think its up to you and how flexible you can be.
