From POP to MCO on ME

[dinky]

Anyone have a recent experience using ME to leave from POP to the airport? I've read good things about getting to the resorts from MCO, but discouraging reports for the return trip. I also haven't seen POP mentioned specifically- is it one of the last dropoffs and first pickups? I'm planning a magical gathering for a trip for 12, so I feel pressure for everything to go smoothly!

My experience was on September 27, 2005 returning to MCO from POP.
There were many people waiting. The ME bus came exactly on time. Driver was taking passengers vouchers and loading their luggage. The bus was filled and ocne everyone was on we headed straight to MCO. As our ailrine was Sun Country we were dropped off at the first stop. We took our luggage with us to the elevator, went up to ticketin/check-in at Sun Country. Trip from POP to MCO was just over 30 minutes for us.

From MCO to POP we were the first stop and it hardly took any time at all. I got in ahead of my planned schedule.

POP is usually first or second drop off coming from the airport, and last or next to last pick up going to the airport.

Should be a Max 40 mins to POP or to airport.

Totally smooth both ways in early october.

pop was the first resort they stopped at coming in, and we were the last resort to get picked up going out.

highly recommend it.

Just returned 11/8 - ME going back to MCO was great! Bus arrived on time and loaded everyone smoothly and straight to the airport. One stop on the B side and one stop on the A side - for the different airlines. Going to MCO was much better/faster than going to POP from MCO on ME.

Have fun!

Same here on 10/28. Picked up at Pop at 11:45 for a 2:45 flight. Went straight to MCO from Pop, got to the airport at 12:15. Security lines were nonexistant, so had lots of time to kill at the airport.

But that's OK, cause I have seen security lines at MCO as long as two hours.

I have used it several times with great results. The last time was on Oct 25. The bus was 10 minutes early, there were 5 or 6 people on it and that bus went straight to the airport. AWESOME!

Thanks- I feel much better knowing several people have had really good experiences with ME both ways.

We were on ME from Pop to MCO on 10/23. Lots of folks waiting. We were told to be outside at 7:30 AM for the 7:45 bus. It was after 7:45 when we finally got on a bus, but 2 buses came so everybody who was waiting got picked up at the same time.

We were at the gate by 9 AM and our flight wasn't until 10:30, so obviously we had PLENTY of time! We checked our bags at Pop and they all arrived home just fine. No complaints.
