We used ME for our arrival (worked great) and then had the car service for our departure. Previously we had only used a car service. We will keep doing it this way. We were pleased, but we weren't in a hurry.
The bus stopped at another resort before ours and it went the long way (I'm assuming so people could get pictures going under WDW signage). We didn't think it made a lot of difference timewise with the car service.
On the way back though we didn't want to be picked up 2 or 3 hours before our flight so we used the car service.
Hmmm...that's a great idea. I was worried about ME on the way there because it's going to be after such a long day already, the last thing I wanted was a super long wait and ride. I'll give some thought to taking it just back to MCO, but I was more worried about the initial trip.
I just need this trip to be here already so I can stop worrying about all the little things.
