Question on ME routes

[DisneyMomx7]

We used Magical Express for the first time in January and thought it was great. We were staying at the GF and first had stops at WL, CR, and the Poly. Next trip we are booked at BC but possibly (due to in-laws coming) may be changing to CBR. Does anyone know the ME routes - which buses go to which resorts? THanks.

If I remember correctly, last June we stopped at CBR before going on to YC/BC. Not sure it that is still the case.

My understanding from both here and another board is there are "no set routes." ME is flexible -- depending on how many people are arriving and the resorts they are staying at. You may be first off the bus, you may be last... It has been said they'll start with the outerlying resorts and work their way toward the Magic Kingdom resorts, but again it depends on who is there and where they need to go.

Right, there are no pre-set routes or pre-set groupings of resorts. It works much better that way. Since they know who's coming in at what time AND they know where everyone's going, I'm sure there's some nifty software (or some busy people without tans) that figures out the most efficient groupings for any given time. When I used DME I stayed at CBR and the other resots on my bus were ASMu and AKL. I'm sure later that same day people going to CBR were grouped with OTHER resorts, due to arrivals at that later time and where THEY were staying, etc.

Our two times to the BC we stopped at CBR first, BW, and then BC. Like Servants said, if there are no guests for BW, then BC would be second. Funny tip, my wife actually gets off at the BW when we stop there first and jogs over to the BC front desk to see if she can beat me and the other BC guests on the bus! May help with room assignment!
