ME Question - pick up time / location

[geniegirl]

Haven't used the bus for the past few trips.

What time will they pick us up on a Saturday if our flight takes off at 7:30 pm.

Also I thought I recalled that they do pick ups someplace other than your resort.

Wanted to head to park for most of the day but figured it would be faster to catch the ME bus at a monorail resort or DTD. We are staying at OKW. Was hoping to deposit bags early am then have a fun day.

4:30pm +/- 15 minutes.

Your resort only.

The morning before your departure day you'll get DME paperwork that will have your pick up time on it. The time listed is when the DME bus is due to leave your resort so you should be at the bus stop 15 minutes prior.

If you are flying on a participating airline you will be able to check your bags with RAC before heading to the park. You can leave your carry ons with bell services. Be sure to allow time to pick them up before going to the DME bus stop.

DME will pick you up only at your resort. You might have been thinking of the brief test when certain resorts also had a DTD pick up option, but that ended quite a while ago.

Thanks I guess it was the test period I remember. It's been a few trips since we needed the busses. Still crossing my fingers for a rental car deal.

If I remember correctly, that trial was at POR. I think those guests could be picked up at DTD. I could be wrong though.

When deciding what time to be back at the resort, it's a good idea to plan on being back an hour prior to your pick up time. Things go wrong, buses can be slow. It's better to have an addtl 30 mins to kill rather than stressing over making it in time. Not a good way to end your vacation.
