They've picked me up at my home, on time, and got me to the airport, on time (knocks wood...) No excessive waits, no "crowded" buses...

I have changed my thinking about using a shuttle to and from MCO since the operations changed from Workman to Groome.
A delayed flight arrival into MCO and missing one’s scheduled Groome shuttle increases the risk of a big shuttle problem. @JMintzer was lucky that time. Groome uses vans having fewer seats compared to Workman’s vehicles on average. If the next Groome van is at capacity with people (who have reservations or otherwise jumped on ahead of you), you can’t get in that van. Then, if you wait yet again for the next Groome shuttle an hour later, you have a similar risk of a full van and no space for you. In the winter season, this risk is much higher than the summer season when shuttle vehicles are not so full. The practical problem with this situation when flying into MCO is no good transportation alternative for getting to The Villages if Groome cannot take you.
In the future, I likely will drive to and from MCO most occasions instead of shuttling on Groome. I was a big fan of Workman.
