DME Pick Up Time (Departure)

[disney4life2008]

My flight leaves MCO at 745am. What will my pick up time be for Disney Magical Express?

I am upset now, all the November hours have been extended. On the 22nd of November, the Magic Kingdom now closes at 3am and I am leaving the 23rd at 745am. I have never been in the MK at 3am and want to do it! LOL. I am thinking my pick up time will be around 430am?

I will not get any sleep that night but hey, I am at DISNEY!

Approx 3 hours for domestic flights and 4 for international.

In 2007 my DD's BF was staying with us and his flight was like at 9;30 am and they were knocking on our door by 6am to take him the airport.

The other thing is the front desk should call your room the day proir to leaving to let you know what time your pick up will be.

Actually they don't call your room anymore, they leave the information hanging in an envelope on your door the morning before your departure. We were booked on Magical Express last year (we didn't take it back to MCO, we took a towncar instead) and we just had the envelope on our door, no phone call.

Why, for the love of sanity, would you take a 7:45am flight FROM Disney? I usually fly that early going TO Orlando, but on my departure day I try and book as late as possible to enjoy the parks one last time.

When I purchased the ticket, it was only $49 for that time. All the others were $100. To my dismay, about a month ago, a later flight (11am) - there was a nonstop flight from MCO to BMI for $60. I was furious! But AirTran charges a $75 change fee. So I left is alone. Its ok, I will be back in January.

its amazing how fares govern our travel times!

I might have just outright bought the 60 dollar ticket though, since its return they wouldnt void the other half of the fare

I was thinking that as well. But if I did that, I would have been tempted to extend my resort stay by 5 days, lol

lol, more money that I dont have. the crazy thing, when I 1st booked this trip, I was only going to do 2 nights. I realized 2 days was nothing so I did 5. All is well, I will be back in January. This November trip is a inexpensive midsemester trip for me.

In January, I have a 2 week vacation planned. I will be on a cruise for a week then Disney for a week.
