Best plan for getting from Port Canaveral to Orlando airport on a tight schedule?

First time sailing from Port Canaveral. There are 3 of us, and we will be taking Uber from WDW to Port Canaveral on the sailing day. However, we were assigned to 2nd seating for dinner, which means breakfast at around 8am on the last morning and off the ship by 9am. Our flight from Orlando is at 12:25pm. Will there be lots of Ubers around at 9am, or will it be safer to book seats on the Disney bus to the airport? Do the buses run frequently (depart as soon as full) or do we risk a long delay waiting to board a bus and then for it to leave? We would like to get to the airport by 10:30ish to be safe....and prefer not to skip the dining room breakfast if possible.

My comfort zone - the DCL transfers.  That said, DCL recommends flights after 11:30, so a 12:25 flight is certainly do-able with no issues.  The buses start running as soon as debarkation begins with the first one departing when full, and then about every 20 minutes thereafter (or when full).

 

If you want to you can ask your server if you can be seated at early breakfast seating that morning, or just go to Cabanas.

I second going to Cabanas. You have more control over your schedule and can leave when you want, once the ship is cleared. We usually go for the opposite reason, since we're in no rush to disembark and since we do early seating have to need to get up for the early breakfast.
