DME bus stops

[Tinkerbell 8]

We leave in 3 days (sooooooo excited!!!) and I haven't used DME in a few years, we usually drive from PA. I know that each bus makes up to 4 stops after leaving the airport, and I was wondering if anyone knew the order of the stops. We are staying at POFQ, and if I remember correctly they stop at POR first and POFQ second. I'm just trying to estimate travel time to/from the hotel. Thanks!

The order of the stops is dependent on the passengers in the bus. I arrive early and have had the whole bus to myself. I have never had more than 1 stop before me.

If you have people from many different resorts, you could be all over the place. I like to use 90 minutes as an estimate from landing to getting to my resort.

They will ask where people are staying where ever there is more people it stops at first

Riverside and POFQ no longer share a DME bus. The current POFQ lineup in order of dropoff is:
1) Key West
2) Saratoga
3) POFQ
4) Fort Wilderness

It's also generally up to the driver. They can determine the exact order they make their stops from the list of resorts they have to go to.

The one exception is that the Grand Floridian is supposed to be the first stop for any bus with GF Guests on it. (And the exception to *that* rule is that if there are also Polynesian Guests, they will stop there first as it's unsafe for the bus to try and back-track from the Grand Floridian and turn into the Poly)

So happy to see you're going again!!! ) When I went in March which was my first time with DME.. been reading how great the buses were and we didn't get a disney bus. lol We went to Key West, Saratoga, followed a white truck filled with garbage to maintaince parking lot to turn around. I was thinking I hope this isn't a sign of how my vacation was going to go! lol Have a GREAT time!!!

Thanks for the replies, my excitement on the bus may start to get annoying to my boyfriend, so hopefully our stop isn't last
@sheila2012 are you planning another trip to WDW anytime soon? I'm so excited to be going again after only a few months.

Interesting... We have always stayed at CBR and have never stopped at another resort on DME. Sounds like maybe we have just been lucky!

How it drives me crazy.... Sitting on the bus, waiting as patiently as I can, while guests unload at Key West and Saratoga, knowing POFQ is just a short distance away. In my mind I'm yelling.. Hurry up, Hurry up, I've got to get my Disney Vacation started.

We've stayed at several resorts and used DME every time and have never made another stop! Lucky, I guess. Although I wouldn't mind it. I like to see other resorts, too.

Oh are you sooo lucky!!!!!! We are going back September. This time it will be my daughter and my husband who's not a Disney fan. We are staying at Riverside. I think that will appeal more to him. It's my last chance at winning him over. lol
