Disneyland express at SNA

[luulu1999]

We are taking this shuttle from SNA on our receipt it has the times the buses leave and one time is 11:30AM--We have never flown before our flight is scheduled to arrive at 11:10AM (in June so shouldn't have bad weather or anything) will it be possible for us to catch the 11:30 bus?

Are you going to check bags? If so, than I really doubt it. Good luck.

We arrived on June 2 last year around 10am and from the time we hit the terminal and got our checked bags we were in a taxi within 10 minutes. Most impressive airport experience of our lives. But, it's that time on the plane waiting for everyone in front of you to grab their carry-ons that could be the real stickler as we all know that takes longer than any of us would ever like. And, I'm sure the quick 10 minutes to get from jetway to taxi was also a very extraordinary event. So, I wouldn't plan on making that tight window, but it is possible since I'd say roughly 20 minutes it what it took us from the plane parking at the gate to us getting in a taxi.

Unlikely.

We probably will have one checked bag maybe 2, would anyone know if the bus leaves exactly at the scheduled time to leave?

A couple of weeks ago we landed at 11 and made the 11:30 with a couple minutes to spare. Longest part was waiting for the luggage to get to the carousel. We got to the carousel at 11:05 and luggage came off at 11:20.

So it's possible but if you're landing at 11:10 you'd need to be at the front of the plane and have everything else break right for you. I'd plan on getting lunch at the airport and catching the 12:30.

It's possible - but it's not probable. Not all flights arrive on time and baggage delays to the carousel can be caused by many things other than weather. Typically airlines will state "your baggage should arrive on the carousel within 15 or 20 minutes of your arrival". I would also suggest the fact this is your first time flying may add to the time it will take as you will be new to the entire flying process and as someone also mentioned, depending on where you are seated on the plane, it can take a good 10 minutes to get off the thing as people take their time getting off ahead of you!

Good luck and have fun.
