ME: How early from airport to Disney?

[camdensmom]

We're thinking about flying down the night before our original planned date. Our flight will land around 8p.m. and since we'll be staying at the POLY we thought it would be more practical (both from a logistics of bedtimes and a $$$ factor since we would be only arriving and sleeping) hubby and I think it would be best to just sleep at the Hyatt at the airport and then get up early and take the Magic Express.

We were hoping to be there for the 9:00 park opening at MK.

How early can we get on the ME at the airport?

Thanks in advance!

When my flight was delayed significantly on my last trip, I called ME to make sure there would be a bus there to pick us up, and the CM I spoke with told me that the ME runs 24/7. So you could probably get on the ME whenever you wanted. We ended up on the bus at 1 in the morning.

I would be down at the DME checkin area by 6:30ish. The buses tend to run a bit less frequently that early in the morning. You would need to be at the Polynesian by 8 in order to be at rope drop. So, if you can get on a bus by 7, that would work perfectly.
