I wasn't going to post this but think it needs to be done to offset the posts by the vocal minority that have had bad experiences. We flew Delta, landed a bit before 1100, was checked in at OKW(2nd stop of bus) by 1230. We took the bus to MK, bought our APs at Guest Relations, walked down Main Street through the Castle, wandered over to check out IASW line, got Philharmagic FP and still checked in 20 minutes early for our ADR for CRT at 1400. Our luggage was in our villa when we returned after lunch which was probably 4:30ish. Bus transportation was great at OKW all week. The only glitch was the night we left MK to go to ASMo to get Mickey waffle sundaes because they had a bus break down in the loading zone for ASMo at MK.
Return trip- found the transportation stuff the hanging on the villa door the day before checkout, checked luggage in no problems, for some reason could only print out boarding passes from ATL to SYR and not MCO to ATL. This however is the airline checkin desk and NOT ME related. Got it straightened out quickly at the airport with the courtesy phones as the boarding passes wouldn't print from the self-kiosks either. ME picked us up at 1410 for a theoretical 1658 flight. Got to the airport in plenty of time to straighten out the boarding pass snafu(it was an omen that we weren't meant to leave, I decided later that evening), shop in the B side stores for Disney, NASA, Universal, and Seaworld, go through security with grandma's knees getting wanded and get to the gate in plenty of time. Especially since the flight ended up leaving right around 7 pm, luckily our connector was delayed just as much so we got back to Syr 2 hours later than we expected. It was 1 am by the time we finally got home. Again, travel snafu, but not Disney's fault and definitely not ME fault. ATL needs to upgrade their air traffic control to handle the volume that airport recieves but the thunderstorms didn't help either.
We are going back 6 times in the next 12 months and I won't hesitate to use ME again. I also wanted to add that we used Wegoshop to get our groceries and thought that service was very good. We will use them again for our next long trip which is December.
