ME return trip to airport?

[kitkat4622]

We are scheduled to fly back home on 4/24 at 6:23pm on Jetblue and would like to go to a park the last day we are there. At what time will they expect us on the ME bus and what time would you leave the park to return to the resort? we are staying at POFQ? thank you.

You will most likely get a pickup time at your resort fro approximately 3 hours before your flight. You'll find out the exact time on the night before you leave. You should be back at your resort at least 15 minutes before that time so you can gather your carryon bags and be sure you are at the right spot.

Generally you should allow 45 minutes or so to get from a park back to your resort.

Thank you. I made a lunch reservation at Crystal Palace for 12:15pm on departure day I am hoping this is enough time to eat before having to be back at the resort.

You need to be on the platform waiting for the Magical Express bus back to the airport, all belongings in hand, all family members with you, 15 minutes before the bus time on your confirmation paper.

Shoot to be back at your resort an hour before that.

Rough guess to be at the Magic Kingdom bus platform at 1:15.

The bus platform is about halfway to the Contemporary Resort from the park exit. If you are running late you could walk the rest of the way to the Contemporary and get a taxi back to your resort.

For a 6:30ish flight, you will be picked up between 3:15 and 3:45...depends on the resort and the route the bus will take. You will get exact times the day before you leave. So, with that in minid, I would plan on being back at POFQ by 2:45. The time you are given is the time the bus is supposed to be pulling away from the resort, so you need to be out, and ready to board, 15 mins prior to that time.
Most people like to make one last bathroom stop at the resort, check out the gift shop one last time and then get any carry on bags they may have left with Luggage Assistance. All that can take over 30 mins!!
If you leave MK by 1:30, you should be fine. Of course, if you've left plenty of time, that means the bus will arrive about 2 mins after you get there and go right to POFQ!!! But if you haven't left enough time, that's when everything will take longer....you will just miss the bus and have to wait 25 or so mins for the next one, there will be 2 scooters to load and then the bus will make two stops before your resort......just seems to work out that way! So, better safe than sorry.
With CP, I would ask for the check as soon as you sit down. Tell your server you are on a tight time limit....it can take awhile for the check to come if you wait until you're ready to go!!!!
