When I left Music, just under three weeks ago, I had a 10:35 p/u time. Now, I've used DME more times than I can count or remember. So, I know how the system works. I know that sometimes they use non-DME marked buses. I get it. I always arrive at the bus stop area at least 20 mins prior to my p/u time. This time, I arrived around 10ish....we had nothing better to do, and we were sitting there, watching the half marathon runners getting off their buses. Well, a bus drove up around 10:20. I though that maybe it was a bus dropping off since it was so early for the 10:35 p/u. then, I noticed that the driver was stowing bags, not unloading them. So, I hopped up, and went over to ask him if he was, in fact, the 10:35 bus. He looked at me like I had two heads, and said 'Well, do you have any paperwork?' Of course I did. I handed it to him...he read it, then reread it. He said, and I quote 'Well, I guess you can get on. I have room for two.' Seriously??? You have room for two? I have a reservation, on your bus, you had best have room for two. And not good that you make it sound like you're doing me a favor. My only thought was that he had allowed those without reservations for this particular bus on early. This was at about 10:30, so I wasn't late..I was actually right on time!!!! When we boarded the bus, it was pretty full. We made a stop at Movies, then left. It took nearly 45 mins to get to MCO....traffic and he drove like a snail!!!
I'm about ready to just keep my rental car and return it at MCO! I usually like to drop it off at the Dolphin..gas refill is soooo easy there, and then I can just hop on DME back to MCO. Not so much anymore!
