those who used ME already - how many other families checked in same time as you?

Were the checkin lines much longer since you were bussed to the resort? are we talking about avg 10families? 3? more/less? what was Your experience?

I would think that if the bus holds about 57 people, if you divide that by, say 4 (as in 4 in each family/party), that would be 15 groups. I doubt they would all be going to the same resort. Even if they were split between 2 resorts that's still only 7 in each line, since only one person needs to check in. And I have heard that if there is a largish group going to one resort, they call the resort before they get there, so they can get more CM's on the front desk area. Hopefully that's how it will work in 15 days!!

We arrived in FL at about 5:30pm. There were only 5 families on our bus. We were the only ones going to our resort (Saratoga Springs). We did have to wait (on the bus) for a good 25/30 mins for the last 3 families to arrive before the driver would leave the airport. (see my post, The Not So Magical Express).

hi! Our bus was almost full...we dropped off two families at one resort and headed to POFQ. About four families got off with us, but we were the only one without luggage to tend to. I waited about one minute to check-in. Oh and this was right at 3:00.

Our bus was only about half full. When we got to Riverside, we had so many kids to get off that I don't remember if any other families got off there or not. I know that there were plenty of CMs at the front desk, and we waited less time in line then the last time we checked in at FQ. I would guess that it was less than 10 minutes, but probably more like 5 minutes.

That's good to know. I was worried about this too.
