Magical Express to Pop

[Fab4@disney]

Can anyone give me an idea of approximately what time we may arrive to Pop Century if our plane lands at 7:15 p.m. and using Magical Express? I am just looking for a time frame, not exact of course

You should get to Pop between 8:25 & 8:45.

POP is generally the first stop and can be combined with passengers to almost any other resort. I might shave a few minutes off the answer given by the PP. Probably about an hour. Ten minute walk to DME, maybe a 10 minute wait for a bus 30-40 minute bus ride.

These answers assume you're not getting your luggage from the carousel. The "clock starts" when you exit the plane. Passengers sitting the back of the plane,with stuff in the bins, might take 10-15 minutes to get off the plane.

I wouldn't schedule anything the night of your arrival. Flight delays could significantly impact your time.

We have never been the first stop when we have gone to POP. I would count on 2 hours from the time you land. Never know how long it takes to fill a bus.

We have been the first stop several times at Pop, but last December we stopped at Caribbean Beach and AOA first - so about 50 minutes if you stop at other resorts. I have waited as long as 20 minutes waiting for the bus to fill (late at night). It takes us about 10 minutes to get to the bus from the gate.

Best case - 10 minutes to get off the plane, you walk 10 minutes, the bus is boarding and ready to leave, and you are the first stop. 8:10 arrival at Pop

Worst case - 10 minutes to get off the plane, 10 minutes to walk to bus, bus is waits 15 minutes to fill up, you stop at 2 other resorts and the ride is 50 minutes. 8:40 arrival at Pop.

Thank you all so much for your logical answers

We won't be getting our luggage and have no plans for our first night. I wanted an estimate on arrival so I could figure in a plan to feed the kids. I wish I could get an earlier flight but now it's too late.

Our easiest way to feed the kids is right at the Pop, great selection for everybody. Or, our fave, Poppa Johns. They have delivery and there was an Internet coupon for $2.00 off. Ordering chicken strips, pizza, soda etc can be a nice end to the day, any night.

If they are eating that late though, I would grab subway or something before the flight.
Have fun!

Have taken DME to Pop about 6 times now. 'Most' of the time, Pop was the first stop. But there was one time we were last. And at each stop, there was a ton of luggage to be taken from the bus and disbursed. It took almost 90 mins to get from the gate to Pop that day. Usually it takes about 70 mins.
If your flight arrives, on-time, at 7:15, you should be at Pop by 8:30. Could be a bit earlier, could be a bit later.
