DME to pop

[karentan]

Taking DME to POP in about 3 weeks. Does anyone have any idea how many (if any) hotels the bus may stop at before getting to pop? We land at 5.30pm at mco on a Saturday if that makes any difference?

Took that bus last Nov when there was a huge lineup at the DME area at the airport. The bus stopped at POP, AoA, and CBR, in that order. During less busy times you could be combined with any combination of resorts.

That was around noon on a Friday. IIRC, when we've arrived around 4-5:00 PM the lines weren't too bad.

There is no set schedule of stops. It depends on who is going where at the time.

I have taken DME to POP many times. Usually, it was the first stop...but there was the one time it was the last stop!!! That ride took me about 90 mins, from gate to resort. Most other times, it was closer to 70 mins.
Earlier this month, I took DME to AoA. We went to AoA first, then the bus continued on to Pop, and then finally to CBR.
If you land, ontime, at 5:30, you can plan on being at Pop no later than 7ish. And most likely, sooner than that. But, I always plan on the lengthy side.

In September we went CBR, AOA, then Pop. It's really just better not to bother trying to plan because it's darn near impossible to predict.

Last August, we went with another family. Half of us went to grab the rental car, the other half took DME. Although Pop was the last stop on DME, they other half of our party arrived at the resort at the same time those of us taking the rental did. I wouldn't be too concerned about how long it may take. Figure 45 to 70 minutes and know that it's unlikely that you could beat that time unless you are paying for a private car service.
