WWYD? Leaving EPCOT to catch ME.

[DisneyRunner2009]

I've only been to a park once on departure day. If ME would pick me up at 4pm, what time would you leave EPCOT to get back to the All-Star resorts? TIA.

For me and my stress level, I'd give myself about 45 minutes, at least. I'd rather sit and wait with a book than feel like I may miss the bus. The bus to the resort will probably not be waiting at the stop.

I would probably give myself an hour. I'd rather be early than late.

If your ME pickup is 4:00, they want you there at 3:45. I'd be at the bus stop at Epcot at 2:45.

This is exactly how we plan it. We almost always hit a park on departure day.

You need to be waiting for youR DME bus fifteen minutes prior to its departure.
You need to, or it's strongly recommended that you, allow another fifteen minutes for last minute bathroom runs, picking up your checked carry-on luggage, etc.
You could need to wait twenty minutes at the park if you just missed a bus.
That's fifty minutes, not counting the actual ride or other stops (if you're on a shared route, or if your resort has multiple bus stops).
