Hi,

Our flight is at 6:30pm on a Sunday to return home. What time does the magical express pick you up from the hotel? I think it may be 3 hours before but I was wondering if sometimes it varies depending on the other guests they have to pick up.

I would like to fit in Typhoon Lagoon to my schedule on that Sunday. Hopefully not waking up to early that day to achieve this. I am not sure if I can experience Typhoon Lagoon in 4 hours. Do you think that's enough time?

For a domestic flight it's three hours (plus or minus 15 minutes) prior. Keep in mind, though, that the time you're assigned is the time the bus is scheduled to leave. You need to be at the platform, completely ready to go, at least 15 minutes before. You need to shoot for being at your resort 1 hour before your pick up time, which for you would be around 2:30.

Since the Typhoon Lagoon bus will drop you off at Epcot and you will then need to transfer to your resort, You should be leaving TL by 1:00.

OH! They bus drops you off at Epcot and not at your hotel??? Wow. That's very good information that I did not know.

I thought that was the case only after 2:00. But I don't have anything to back it up with.

You might be right. I was thinking after 12:00, but 2:00 sounds right.

In that case, you would need to leave TL about 1:30.
 
Cool thanks. I will be sure to ask for info before we leave to the park.

Don't ask anyone at the resort. If you have a transportation question, don't ask anyone who isn't a transportation CM.

ETA: I just checked. It is 2:00.
