MDE App Transportation

[cruisin5]

Does the MDE app show how many minutes until a bus is scheduled to arrive at the hotel?

For example, we want to go from BLT to DS. Can I tell from the app how many minutes away from BLT is the bus? (Weighing the wait time vs. Lyft)

In the Resort info section, from your Resort, to the parks, yes
It's fluid, ever changing though.
Many here will tell you it's never right.
That is not correct.
It is right.
It is connected to live GPS units ON the actual buses.
So clearly it's right.
But, buses are moved, rerouted, stopped, slowed, ETC, CONSTANTLY.
So, the data is constantly changing. It does make it hard to be accurate. Especially when you are talking down to the minute.
But, it's there.

I found it is usually best if you are at the stop to open the times and refresh it periodically, generally it is usually within 5 minutes of being right.

Does the bus wait times only appear once you are at the resorts? I wanted to get a general idea of wait times for the times we will be there but the icon does not show up on MDE

Unfortunately you have to wait to get there or at least the day of if doing online check in.

But the wait times vary based on the needs at the time, so looking ahead really won't do much good.
