magic express drive times

[princess lovers mom]

going for a quick 4 day trip Saturday- we got magic express paperwork this week and it said the ride will make MANY stops and take 1-2 hours! Is this true? Are they just loading people as they come into buses and stopping everywhere? Wondering if we should get a car service instead TIA

Yes, the ride could take as much as 1-2 hours. But it probably won't. They still group people according to resort location. The bus will probably stop at a total of 3 resorts. You might be the first stop. You might be the last stop. Most people find it will take <90 minutes from getting off the plane to arriving at their resort.

It certainly could take up to two hours (or even more). It could also take 40 minutes. It's unpredictable. Everyone boards at MCO. The bus might stop at a couple of resorts to drop off other guests on the way to your resort.

I don't think I've ever been on a bus that stops at more than 3 resorts. We've also always been lucky and never had to wait more than about 15 minutes at MCO to board the bus (but have always been warned when checking in that the wait could be up to an hour). We've basically always made it to the resort within about an hour or so after stepping off the plane - we also travel carry-on only.

thank you all- I thought maybe they had changed it drastically and were stopping at 10+ resorts along the way!!

remember it is taking longer at each stop to unload luggage as everone has to pick up checked bags and bring on bus

We decided to do an UBER last Sat am, as the airport was packed and thought the wait might be long. Only 31.00 plus tip. Well spent money I thought. We were there in 30 minutes.
