In February 2000, it was extremely quick, I can't give you exact times, but based on receipts and park show times I can give you the following:
We landed at MCO at 2:59 pm
Our driver was waiting at the bottom of the escalator
We got our bags and took them outside
He pulled around to the curb and we left
We stopped at 7-11 and got beer and sodas and arrived at All-Star Sports
We checked in and got hubbies ticket
We went to the bus stop
We went to Animal Kingdom
We rode Kilimanjaro Safari
We made the 5:45 pm Festival of the Lion King Show
As a reference.....
A large All-Star Mears Bus was sitting at the airport as we left.
It arrived at All-Star Sports as we were heading to the Animal Kingdom bus stop.
Those folks had not had a grocery stop and they still had to check in.
I can't remember which service I used in '99, but it was either Tiffany or Florida Towncar. (I have the info filed at home...but can't remember now) Our driver was waiting at the gate as we walked off the plane. (Our plane was an hour delayed by the way) He grabbed all of our carryons except my camera, which was on my waist. I retrieved the luggage while he brought the car around. He loaded all of the luggage and we were off. To the best of my recollection, we were in our room at the BWV an hour later. I was extremely impressed. Don't forget to tip the driver for excellent service.
I don't remember exactly how long the trip was either, but I do know that after getting off the plane, we were able to check in at AKL (no grocery stop), eat lunch, wait for a bus to MK and arrive at MK in a little under 2 hours
We used Tiffany in Feb. It took us about an hour from the time we landed until we got to the resort. It was late at night so the roads were not crowded.
