About how long can we expect it to be from airport to room...

With Magical Express?

We're staying at POP. Since I'm sure the bus will carry more than just people from POP, is there a particular order in which they stop to drop people at their resorts? Is there a list? Does it all just depend on the day? Luck of the draw?

I'm just trying to get an idea, because our flight is scheduled to land at 2:30 and I'm not sure if we should try to make it into a park or not. It'll be Sept so they won't be open terribly late.

Oh, and since DH decided we should head for home on the *gasp* 8 am flight, how early will we have to have our things ready to go for the return flight?

Last July we our plane arrived around 10:15am and we were at our resort by 11:30am - I don't know if it gets busier as the day goes on.

As for the return, my DH also favors those early flights Our plane left at 10:00am so ME picked us up at 7:00am - it is 3 hours prior to your departure time. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

For My family it was just under an hour from when they got off the plane to WL. they did not use it in the way back , but I have heard 3 hours before flight time.

There isn't a set list of what resorts will be included in the bus route.

Often for POP, it will be AKL & CSR or CBR.

The good news is that from the reports I've read, POP is usually the first stop anyway.

Last fall we were in our room an hour after our flight landed. My parents arrived the following week, and it was the same for them.

The DME buses are generally routed so they stop first at the closest resort to the airport, then the next closest, then ... and since the buses use 417, Pop is THE closest resort to the airport. Figure you'll be checked in (and probably in your room) by 4 PM. Remember, no matter what day you arrive, Epcot will be open until 9.
