Has anyone used a car service to be picked up at the Disneys resort early in the morning and taken to the Airport? All I can find is they pick you up at the airport and take you to where ever but nothing about picking you up at the resort to airport. We have to fly out of MCO at 7:00 and it is too early for Magical Express to catch at 5:00am. If so what company or one way price do they charge? Not like we have a choice as what to pay have to get to airport somehow. Thanks:)

I've caught 6 am flights using DME. Yes, it was dark and the bus was full but very quiet, but that's not an issue - unless you're wanting to not get to the airport as early as DME will get you there.

I'd recommend contacting one of the town car/limo-type services and finding out what they charge for one way. They shouldn't have any problems with doing that. I wouldn't take a taxi - I think it's quite a bit more $$.

ETA - I just figured out you might be confusing resort airline check in, with DME. DME is JUST the bus. Resort airline check in is if you're flying on participating airlines, and DOES have limited hours of operation. If you're outside those hours, you just have to check in at the airport.

Thanks Cathy for your reply and to Gus for responding to my PM and making me realize that staying off Disney property would be more of a hassle to us. And yes Gus we did decide to skip the Doubletree and budget in at the Pop instead. Cost more, but time at the parks and NOT waiting for a shuttle or taxi is more important to us. Thanks again, now to my annoying questions that wont stop. I think Cathy if were in the lobby to check our luggage for the airport at 5:00am does the ME run that early and could it get us to MCO by 5:30AM OR should I just plan on a Town car getting us and luggage at 5:00am just to be safe? Also, 1 more question. I see where Pop has 10 buildings does anyone have a map with what numbers 1-10 are on what buildings? Thanks again I appreaciate it.....:)

DME runs 24 hours a day for the bus service to and from the airport. Generally, they want to pick you up at your resort 2.5 to 3 hours before your flight time - so for a 7 am flight, they'll want to pick you up at 4-4:30 am. If you're on a 'Participating Airline' you won't be able to check your luggage at the resort at that hour. If you're not on a 'Participating Airline', it wouldn't matter the hour.

At that time of day, you just have the driver put your luggage under the bus with you, and then when you get to the airport, check in like you did at home.

There might be a map on the WDW page for Pop Century in Mouse Planet (I don't recall) - just navigate to it from the "Walt Disney World" link at the top of the page here (right under the big "MousePlanet"). Additionally, there is a 'fan site' that has a ton of the maps on it. Click here (http://www.willcad.org/disney_maps.shtml)

Thanks Cathy that map was very helpful. Has anyone tried asking for a certain building number and gotten it before? Also, here's another question for anyone. I know to get guaranteed connecting rooms you have to have kids. But our situtation is different. My husband is on a VERY loud breathing machine and if it stops or malfunications for any reason he stops breathing and a loud siren goes off to alert someone that there is a problem, so if I bring a DR. note with me and explain the situtation do you think they will guarantee us connecting rooms for this reason? Thanks again...:)

I'd suggest you ask the room location question in the "Where to Stay" forum (though you should browse through it first, that's a common question).

You'll have to ask them about the connecting when you reserve the room - I'd do it on the phone and not online, so you can explain the situation to them. (And if you already booked it online - just call and explain)

Can I just ask, is a town car a taxi?

Can I just ask, is a town car a taxi?

Not really. A town car is pre-arranged, and usually for a set price. I wouldn't be surprised if there are different laws and rules governing them in various jurisdictions.

But they are close.

Oh I see, Thank you :)

A town car is usually a big, full sized 4-doored car, not quite a limo.
