DME is a continuously running service. They load and dispatch all the time. 2 hours to leave MCO is very unusual. The stated average time from MCO to WDW is 70 - 90 minutes - that is arriving at your resort. Weekends are busier than a Tuesday morning.
 
When arriving at MCO the wait can vary from a few minutes to an hour or more.

At the resort they want you to catch a bus 3 hours before your domestic return flight, 4 hours for international.
 
I think 30 mins is the most we have ever had to wait. Most times it is walkon or close to. That includes spring break last year and August.
 

It varies. I've had times where I have gotten on the bus, it leaves right away, and we are the first stop. I've had times where I have gotten on the bus and sat for 20 minutes before leaving the airport, and then been the 3rd or 4th stop.

There is no way to know what you will get until you are there.
