It was a good one! I timed everything for this trip. 
Plane arrived at the gate at 2:45 pm (15 minutes early, yea)! Got off the plane, took the tram to the terminal and crossed to the B side. Went down to the ME level and stopped to use the restroom before going to the ME line. We were seated on the bus at 3:10 pm. Left for WDW at 3:25 pm.
First stop was POR. This was new for us since our other ME runs had all stopped at the CBR first (and POR was not on those routes). No CBR stop this time, and in fact, it wasn't on the route this time. Anyway, we arrived at POR at 3:53 pm. Lots of people got off and many had luggage underneath. So we didn't depart POR until 4:00 pm. Not bad, considering, LOL.
Arrived at the BWV at 4:10 pm, so about 1 hour and 25 minutes total from airport gate to resort check in station. I really don't think there is any way we could have gotten there sooner by picking up our own bags and a rental car.
FWIW, we've been lucky - all of our ME trips MCO- WDW resort have averaged 90 minutes. I think it is a great service, especially considering it is free.
