You will receive paperwork the last night at the hotel with information about what time the DME bus will pick you up. Make sure to call the airline that morning and pre-pay your bag fees; the airline services desk at the hotel won't take it otherwise.

Be certain to pay all baggage fees online before taking luggage to the DME check in at your resort. Even if your bags are free, call the airline and make sure you have some kind of confirmation number regarding checked bags.

AM Transfer to MCO via DME

Transfer to MCO via DME; the bus picks up from the front of the Great Ceremonial House, ground floor, about three hours before your scheduled departure.

Lines at security are incredibly long and the TSA agents incredibly strict. Make sure you’ve got your “stuff” together, that means liquids in the smaller plastic bags, IDs and tickets, etc. and please be patient…not everyone will be as prepared as you.
