I can't seem to find the info I am looking for and I am sure I have seen it here before but I can't find it.

Is there a website or link that shows the order the ME bus stops at each resort??? We are staying at a Value but not sure who they are linked with to get a estimate on our timeline.

Thanks

Nope. It's all done dynamically. No way to predict it.

No route has taken me more than 1:10 to the last stop. And that was MK resorts, 4 stops.

What resort are you staying at?
 
When I spoke to a lady from ME she told me it depends on how many people are going to a particular resort. They'll go to the one with the most guests and work their way down the line.

Another question I had asked her was how late do they run and she said 24/7, and there are buses always available. If you miss one there is another just around the corner

No, we go to the closest to airport to the furthest in most cases. We try to make it as quick and efficient as possible.

Sounds like that lady was adlibing abit. (meaning she had no idea what she was talking about)

Would make sense to me to stop at the ones that are the first enroute. Back back tracking, turning around, and all that fun stuff which would make the total driver time longer and use up more fuel. Not too good from a business stand point and point of view of guests seeing their resort go right on by.

ME runs from the airport as long as the CM's know someone is still coming, perhaps on a late flight. This is why it is important to give your Orlando bound flight information when doing your ME ressie. Suggest you get the name of the person you talked to on the phone.

You need bus tickets (vouchers) and a bus pickup time in writing for the ME trip back home. Sometimes you can get these items as early as you arrive at Orlando Disney bound. You can get these items or make changes as late as the day before you check out if you did not get this done sooner. A trip can be reserved to make any flight at any hour.

You must be punctual. Allow plenty of time to get back from the theme park if you went there for a few hours. If you miss your assigned bus you are not guaranteed seating on the next bus.

It is not unheard of for the last ME bus to depart the airport and when it gets to WDW it is just an hour before the first homebound guests go back to the airport.

That is all very interesting! Alot of what you guys said sounds logical. I've never traveled with ME or the WDW Shuttle. I didn't arrange for ME when I first booked my trip because we were going to come down on Amtrak, but when we saw the $98 round trip flights we decided it was wise to do that and cut our traveling expenses by 2/3! :cool1:

Now ME also told me that I can't make my reservation with them until 45 days out.... Is this true???? The I would get my packet and stuff 21 days prior to taveling. We don't arrive into MCO until 11:44pm then on the way home we have an 8:30 am flight.
 
I know this may be a silly question, but we are actually taking a hopper flight from key west so we will be carrying on our luggage. So we would just then meet the Disney rep and get on the bus that way, correct. Still debating on using the ME. Our flight gets in at like 815pm so didnt know if it would be better for us to get the ME or get a town car like we usually do.
any thoughts pirate: :confused3
