check in at downtown disney

right lets say we've all checked in at DTD

can anyone give me a time as a guide that we should be setting off to the airport by?

i was thinking about 2.30 - 3pm would this be enough?

Mizzy, I'm not expert, but I think it would depend on what time your flights are. [msnwink] and where you are setting off from.[msnwink]

We always use it and have never had to wait more than 30 minutes. We used it this Easter when we were out - arrived at 8:45 and were driving away from Downtown Disney at 9:10 so there were definitely no issues with queues. They've got it down to a fine art and I definitely wouldn't ' not' do it if I was flying with Virgin!!

It's a must

Certainly I never suggested not to do it - I think it's a fantastic service Virgin offer. The information given to me was from the staff member who checked me in, just wanted to make sure that everyone still allowed enough time for the process especially if travelling in the summer holidays.

Mizzy not sure of where you are staying but personally I allow an hour to get to the airport and to drop off the car from the Davenport area, without traffic it can be done in around half an hour but you never know.

You need to be going through security a minimum of one hour before take off - but pesonally I still get to the airport about 2 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Hope that helps

i will be staying in the dtd area or going to one of the parks until time to leave for the airport

Then I think you're about right with 3pm. If you get there a bit early at least there are plenty of shops and watering holes!

Mizzy, just be aware there is very little signage for the DTD check in, but as stated earlier it is in front of the Cirque du Solei building, well worth using. [msnsmile2]

thanks tigger

we used the check in on our first trip but as we were the ones not driving we never noticed the time we set off for the airport, too busy piggin out in fultons crab house[msnembarrased]
