RCCLNYMETS41 - We got off Wonder last month and our itinerary was similar to yours. We had a flight scheduled day before cruise to land at MCO at 1:15 but was actually early. Took a shared shuttle with Cruise Control Transportation at 2:00 (booked online one way $25/p but found promo code on you tube ended up being $24/p) Stayed in Port Canaveral @ Towneplace Suites (new hotel with free breakfast - booked "don't miss the boat rate" that saves 15% by showing boarding pass) At check-in booked shuttle to cruise port for $10/p. Times were 10:30, 11:30, etc. We booked 10:30 but shuttle was ready at 10:15. Hotel is within walking distance of Mcdonald's, Zarrella's Italian, Subway, Preacher Bar & Kelsey's Pizza (which we ate at) Everything was super simple and would do it again.

That's a tough one. On a normal cruise week, 12:15 would be fine. I would not be concerned about Cruise Control schedule. They seemed very professional and notify you of driver's arrival time. But if it's after Christmas, MCO will be super crazy with cruisers, Disney, Universal, holiday travel. So airline check in will have long lines particularly Southwest. And security could be a nightmare unless you have TSA pre or Clear travel. (We actually signed up for Clear Reserve, which is a free service that gets you through security quicker).

We just got off of Wonder and disembarkation was super easy. We used Cruise Control Transportation for the roundtrip drive to/from MCO. Drive is 45 minutes to and hour. Cruise Control has various morning departures from cruise terminal, but earliest is 8:00-8:15 am. (you will have to do self disembark) But since it's a shared shuttle you will wait until all parties are on board the van. It just so happened we all showed up at 7:45 and we then ended up being dropped off at airport at 8:30. But then super long lines to check in at airline and then go through security. Wouldn't recommend anything flight before noon, but if you arrive earlier you can try for standby on earlier flight. Cost of shuttle was $25/person one way.

Thanks, for the response. Went in to cancel one night and rebook at a different time and it will not allow new time to be added to cart.

Any one else having issues booking MTD in cruise planner on Wonder in April? Booked MTD for 5 of the 7 nights several months ago. Now that it shows up in my calendar, it lists each night's dinner lasting 5 1/2 hours. All evening hours are therefore blocked out and when entertainment does become available, I won't be able to book shows.
