How long will it take on Magical Express?

[marshallj]

We will be arriving at MCO around 9:30am.
How much time approximately will it take to get to Boardwalk villas after boarding ME? Thanks.

Typically you should arrive at your resort within 70-90 minutes. This depends on your resort, how many resort stops before your resort, and how many people are getting luggage from under the bus at each resort. Your mileage may vary.

The times above are correct, but the starting point is when you get off of the plane. It also assumes that you have only carry-on bags or are using the DME luggage transfer service. If you will be stopping at baggage claim, at at least another 20 minutes.

If your flight arrives promptly at 9:30 a.m. and you head straight to DME, you should be at your resort by 11:00 a.m. (and maybe sooner). That includes the time it takes to walk from the gate to DME, to wait in the DME queues and to wait on the bus after boarding. The bus ride itself will be about 30-60 minutes, depending on where you are in the order of stops and how long each stop takes.

Thankfully we will not have to stop at baggage claim.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
This information will be very helpful in planning lunch our first day.

We stay at BWVs a lot...my home resort. It is usually the second stop on DME..but that certainly isn't etched in stone!!
If your flight arrives, ontime, at 9:30, you can figure on being at BWVs by 11:00. It will probably be sooner but plan on 11.

Don't cut it too close. Remember, those times are based off of an average. If your flight is late or you have an abnormal experience, then it could take longer. Just don't plan anything that is a "must not miss" too close to your arrival.

Trust me... I almost learned that the hard way with our last trip when we missed our connection and had to try standby on the next flight. We were luckily because I didn't plan our meal until 5 hours after our original arrival time, which means we had plenty of time to still make it.
