Magical Express To The Contemporary

[jhaig]

Does the ME bus from MCO that goes to the Contemporary drop off there first or does it go to the Poly and GF first? Is there any type of order in which they drop off and pick up? What about going from the CR back to he airport?

It has been my experience that CR is last for arrival, after Poly, GF, and Wilderness; and first for departure, then on to Wilderness, GF, and Poly. As I understand it, these routes are not set in stone and depend greatly on demand. I've also heard of people getting off at Poly (typically the first stop) and then taking the monorail to CR. But I've never done this myself.

The route depends entirely on who's on the bus. If nobody is getting dropped off or picked up at a certain resort, the bus doesn't stop there.

There are no set Magical Express bus routes.

Goodness, don't worry about it... it's a different of 20 minutes if it stops at all 3 before CR. If you've made reservations that cut it that close then an air delay is just as much a risk.

On the return, your pickup time will be just about 3 hours prior and that gets you to the airport at least 2 hours before departure - plenty of time even if you have to check luggage there instead of with RAC.

If you only have carry on luggage with you on the bus, you can get off at the Poly If that's the first stop. We've done that, taken the monorail around to the CR and been checking in before the ME bus even arrives. But that can backfire just as easily if you have to wait too long for a monorail or it gets "stuck" for awhile.

I stayed there 3 months ago and can't remember. I remember worrying about it beforehand, but on the actual trip, it was no issue at all.

And judging by the monorail's reliability recently, I may stick to the bus
