Unhappy with Magical Express Timing

[RSD Part Deux]

Going to the resort was no problem. It was coming home that really bothered me.

We scheduled the latest night flight possible to maximize time on our last day. We had a 8:15pm flight scheduled out of MCO to Toronto. We got our ME letter on our door on our second last day. It told us our ME time was 4pm. It explained for international flights that they give us 3 hour lead time. I wasnt too happy with the 3 hours and even more mad at the 4 hour and 15 minute 4pm time. It also added that we must be at the bus stop 15 minutes prior to arrival. So that pretty much wiped out our plans to watch the MK parade and light lunch afterwards. I called ME and asked to be moved to the next bus. They said they wouldnt. She even went as far to say that she would not even tell me the time of the next airport run. She explained this was due to the time it takes to get the airport with possible traffic, possible large security lines yadda yadda yadda. I told her i dont mind taking the risk. Then she said that they had an agreement with the airport with these times. Sounds like a bunch of crock to me. On top of this is, she had a "who gives a damn" attitude with me. I asked if she was a Disney employee or a Mears employee. She said Disney I suspect the latter.

So we wait for the bus at the scheduled time. It shows up, we get to the airport in 25 mins, and thru security in 10 mins. No checked in luggage, and checked in boarding pass online.

All this has tought me to lie to ME about my flights. Thoughts?

I had no idea this was the case and was planning on using this service when landing in Orlando in May, just for our bags as we are renting a car! I have never used DME before because we have always stayed off-property first and then stayed on-site for the second part of our trip.

So we won't be able to just attach the tags to our luggage but drive our rental car to our resort?

This is correct. If you are renting a car you will have to pick up and transport your own luggage to the resort otherwise, your luggage will be left at the airport. You have to be checked in for the bus for them to transport your luggage. Kind of like flying now. Luggage won't be transported without passengers to go with it even though passengers go by bus and the luggage goes by truck.
