How long did it take to get off plane to your resort using Magical Express?

[Suzanne74]

This is the approx it took once you landed to the approx time you were getting OFF the bus. Does NOT have to do with how long you waited checking in or anything to do with waiting for luggage.

Just landing time to arrival to resort - please post under which stop you were as well - to give people an idea how long pending what stop they are at.

Please feel free to add a post below where you stayed and how many stops were on your route, how long you waited for the bus to leave MCO, did they wait for the entire bus to fill etc....

I am trying to weigh the good and the bad together

Thanks

Our plane landed at 6:15 PM on May 7th. And we arrived to All Star Music at 7:40 PM. We were the 3rd stop (Coronado Springs and ASsp were the first two, ASMo was after us). It went quick and smoothly for us.

We were the second to last stop. They stopped at the Swan, Dolphin, Yacht then the Beach Club. On the way back they picked up the Swan and Yacht club first, then us at the Beach Club, then Boardwalk then Carribean Resort. I thought for sure that we were going to miss the plane, but we still made it to the airport more that an hour before our flight.

We just used ME last week. We were the last stop after the All Stars. It took us less than 2 hours from the time we landed.

We landed at 3:30. Got on the bus at 3:50, and were in our room at CSR by 5:30 and eating at Maya grill at 6

okay - who polled that it took over 2.5hrs - I have to hear why????

I had thought we were the first stop but we were the second. We landed at 1:55 pm waited an hour for our bus and didn't arrive at the CR till 4:05 pm.

I could not vote because although we were the last stop it didn't even take an hour. So my experience was really good!

Seriously - from the time you were off your plane to the LAST stop was less then an hour??? How many stops were before you - I am curious??

 

[cabowser]

I guess I could say it took an hour, although it seemed a lot shorter.

The way I do the math this falls in the 2-2.5hr group (2hr 10min)
Putting noone in the over 2.5 hr group.....I think my vote will be to try ME


ETA---didn't see the first stop/last stop stuff......ooopppssss!!!

Yep your right. Thanks for the adding. Still having to stand for an hour waiting for our bus at the airport while everyone else coming after us but going to a different resort never stood in their line before getting on a bus wasn't great. Must of just been a bad bus day for the CR.

The more I read the better it sounds.

We usually take a town car. First, we wait for the bags. Then we got to the towncar. Sometimes we have to wait for the driver to bring the car up front if he couldn't get a space. Then we'd go to Publix, usually 20-25 minutes. It always feels like the whole thing takes forever. I love the idea of skipping the baggage claim, hopping on the bus and heading out!

Of course, no groceries, butI only get a few items and even if I buy the more expensive items at the resort stores, I'm still saving money.

anyone else???

Thanks so much for this post!! I'm really looking forward to our first ME trip. Between baggage claim, picking out a rental car, and driving -- it always takes more than an hour to get to our resort.

Getting on the "Magic Bus" and just going (almost) straight to our resort just sounds so right. . .
