ME: How long do you have to wait to leave the airport

[yanners]

Hi there,

I'm considering using ME for my next trip in December but am curious as to how long you have to wait at the airport before you acutally leave.

How many different flights do you have to wait for - if any?

Thanks!

It depends. We waited about 10 minutes for our bus to arrive and then we sat on the bus about 10 minutes before we left. Some folks went straight to their bus when they got to the ME departure point. There are different buses for different resorts (although each bus stops at a couple resorts.)

We've used it twice and both times we had a very minimal wait. There was a line to check in, but it went pretty fast. Once we got into the line for our resort, we walked right on the bus and took off within minutes. It was very quick.

We used DME last year and it was one hour from the time the plane's wheels touched down to when we were walking in our room. We found the service to be quick.

Thanks everyone! It seems to be pretty quick!

The reported average time from airplane to resort is 70 minutes. For that leg of the trip, no one has reservations for an exact bus, so it's not like buses are waiting for specific individuals or flights. Buses are supposed to wait around no more than 15 minutes before shoving off. Of course, there's no guarantee that there will be a bus waiting for you to board.

I had 2 great experiences with DME. First time it was 63 minutes airplane to resort drop-off, and the next time it was 56 minutes airplane to resort drop-off.

The standard is that no guest should wait more than 15 minutes in the queue line.

No bus should wait more than 15 minutes from when the first guest boarded.

We sat on the bus at the airport long enough for my DH to "politely" as the
driver, "When does the convenience start?" Once we finally left, it was pretty
quick. Thank goodness our resort was the first one!(SSR). Enjoy!

From the time we got off the plane maybe 20-30 minutes. Not that bad considering you need to check-in at the ME counter and get in a line to board the bus. Once on the bus it goes very quickly. We were at our resort in about an hour. Not bad at all and it's saves us $$$!

We just used ME on Dec. 23rd, and from the time our flight landed til we were at the resort was about an hour.
