Does anyone know how long it takes on average to get from the airport to SSR using ME? We are arriving at 6:06pm on a Saturday. TIA!
Depends on the route. ME can have up to four stops at the different resorts. The most that we have had are three. SSR is usually the second stop after OKW but the routes can and do change. You might also have to wait at MCO for the bus to fill up before it leaves. An hour to an hour and a half is probably average.
Our experience is that we allow about 1.5 hrs. for DME to any resort. You never know if you will have JUST MISSED a bus and have to wait on another one or if you will be the last one to make a full one that's waiting when you get to the DME line at the airport... The buses try to wait for a full load for their stops before they pull out so it really varies according to how busy they are.
Monday our plan arrived at 5pm we went straight to the ME, got right on the ME. We stepped on the ME the driver shut the doors and was off to OKW. We arrived at OKW at 5:30. The bus was barely half full. It had a few people on it that was going to SSR which might have taken an additional 10min to the trip. All in all it was a good experience for us.
