I think that sometimes people using ME don't normally travel on public transportation. I must tell you that I think ME does an exceptional job of moving alot of people very efficiently. That being said, the excitement of being so very close to Disney World but sitting in the bus at the airport while it fills up can be very frustrating. The buses are NOT Disney owned, but contracted through Mears, so the driver is NOT a cast member. I used Mears (prior to ME) and the new ME version is vastly improved. If you would not get on a bus in a city vacation destination, you may not be a good candidate to avail yourselves of the ME services and various opinions will reflect a wide range of met and unmet expectations. Point is, you get to Disney Property without additional planning and expense or lugging all your suitcases through the airport. If you stop and think about the time you wait at the carousel for your bags, I don't think you spend any more time than that waiting on the bus. I love the service
, but consider that I take a public bus, a ferry, and then another public bus just to get to the airport.
Your mileage will vary.
