Transfer time when using Sunshine Flyer / Mears

For anyone that’s used Sunshine Flyer or Mears, do they do multiple resort drop offs? Just wondering how long it would take to get from MCO to our resort…

We are using the Sunshine flyer for our upcoming trip.

From the Sunshine Flyers FAQ's

We are using a dynamic routing software that customizes each day’s transfers based on specific riders. We can set the parameters to how long the ride is or how many stops the bus makes. 65 minutes is the longest anyone will be on a bus once it leaves to the final destination.

We used them last month to get back to MCO from BLT, there was one other couple already on board when we boarded, then we drove straight to MCO.

I don't know how typical that is, but do hope they're not being underutilised as it was a really very good service from booking through to drop off, great communication and staff were all lovely.

ETA. That was Sunshine Flyer

Sunshine Flyer just picked me up at 7:20 on the dot... 7 on at art of animation and 3 already on bus.. will update lol.

7:35 a couple on at key west very quick stop 2-3 mins.
7:40 in the gates of port Orleans Riverside...3 on and bus moving again 7:45.

That's all for pickups announcement. 35 mins now I think he said. Arrived 8:15

I requested 7-8 and got a time of 7:20 a few days ago.

Sounds very similar to how long it took in the Magical Express. We've got Sunshine Flyer booked for our trip in a few weeks and looking forward to trying it

Thanks guys, I’m going to book the Sunshine Flyer, we are just doing one way, MCO - POR. It says please select the hour your flight arrives… we are scheduled to land at 17:55 would you put 18:00-19:00 rather than 17:00-18:00?
Thanks 😊

You get asked flight number as well, so I would put 17-18 in your case
