Magic Express to Beach Club - how long?

[Rash]

I know ME makes a bunch of stops. Anyone have a general idea how long ME takes to get to BC? With rental car prices as they are, we're considering ME for the first time.

It all depends if you catch the bus at the right time! We just missed ours last Saturday. The one we rode stopped at Port Orleans and then BC. We were at BC within an hour of landing.

So how much of that hour was the actual bus ride?

Took us less than an hour, maybe 50 minutes from touchdown. We were lucky enough to get the front seat on the bus. We were first in line for check-in. Very efficient. I don't remember stopping anywhere else first.

ETA: ~35 minutes travel time

Thanks a bunch.

We are usually at BC no more than 90 minutes after we leave the plane. Our wait for the ME averages 10-15 minutes and the ride is about 45 minutes. It seems the stops are sometimes at POP, and then CB, BW, YC and then BC. I know this can change depending on where the guests on board are staying. We always use ME and have never had a problem.

I'd say our ride was 30-40 minutes.

Believe it or not, ME can actually be faster than renting a car.

We had the opposite experience - about two hours. I will never use ME again. My kids were tired and hot, and we waited at least an hour after we landed until we were on our way - could have been checked into the resort by then.

When renting a car, we sometimes use National and just pick up the car and we're on our way, then return it to the Dolphin later that day. I really prefer a towncar service, though.
