Magical express dropoff order to WL

[MindyDean]

We have a 11:56 pm arriving flight and will have to get our luggage in baggage claim. I was wondering what the drop off order is for WL? I can't remember from a couple of years ago. Didn't know if we should do Magical Express or just grab a cab. I've got to be ready for rope drop the next morning!!!!

There is no way to know for sure what the order of drop off will be, especially at that time of night.
You could be lucky and be at WL within an hour of landing, but more likely would be 90 mins.
I would be very tempted to book a car service. That way you would be pretty sure it would be about an hour from landing.

Order varies based on who gets on the bus with you and where they're going, so there's really no way to predict.

Since you're in a hurry, I'd just take a cab or get a car service. We arrived that late on our last trip and it was a disaster. We waited on a nearly-empty bus for what seemed like forever (30 minutes or so) and then they filled it with a loud group of teens on a school trip. Those kids were also dropped off first, and since it was too late for the luggage service, we had to wait for all those kids to reclaim their luggage. I pretty much said never again to DME after that. We've just had too many bad experiences and you have no way of knowing until you're caught in one whether it's going to be good or bad.

As was already said, drop off routes are always varying. However, Wilderness Lodge is most likely to be grouped with other Magic Kingdom resorts, and among those, it is most likely to be first in the drop order... just based on how the roads work. There is an outside chance they could put OKW or PO in first, then continue the back way in to WL.
