11:45 Flight Orlando?

[sn2792]

United changed our return flight to 11:45 from 12:15. We were planning on walking off Allure with our luggage.I think the earliest time off right now is 7 Am. We are using Cocoa Beach Shuttle from the port to the airport. Can we make this flight or should we change it to a later flight? United is offering us a free flight change since they changed our original flight.

For an 11:45 flight you need to be at MCO NLT about 10:15, and earlier is better with the typical TSA chaos. Do you have pre-check? 🤔  That translates into off the ship with bags and clear of customs and immigration before about 9:00, giving you an hour to load the van and drive to Orlando. Unless there is a delay (post cruise screening?) you should be okay.

Thanks for the reply. We decided to change to a 2:30 flight to be safe. Unfortunately, it’s not direct like the earlier flight.

That's a long time to spend at the airport. I would have kept the flight and made sure I was using a private shuttle/transportation vs a shared one. But your choice not mine.
