11AM landing at MCO > 2PM Fantasmic Sci Fi Lunch. Doable?

[Steffii]

How late is your FF reservation? Asking because a 2pm spot may not get you seated until 2:30 or so and you won’t be done eating until 3:30. Will you be hungry for FF?

Alright, I will be Debbie downer/reality Rita....
Too many what ifs. IF everything is perfect, maybe.
You are going to be too stressed out . Not the way to start a vacation.

My sister really wanted to try FF. The ressie is at 6:45PM

I think most are right and I'll just forgo the Fantasmic Sci Fi lunch

Were you planning to eat at FF and then return to DHS for Fantasmic? That could have been pushing it, as well. Enjoy your dinner at FF!

I am hoping that they can accommodate us if we are 15-30 mins behind. Once we get our bags and are in the Uber I should have a good idea and can call the restaurant.

There is no way to call Disney restaurants directly. You will call the CRO dining line & will not get to speak to anyone actually at the restaurant.

Also, Sci Fi is very popular. They regularly turn walk ups away. Very good chance they won’t accommodate if you’re more than a few minutes late.

cant see it being an issue, Have the restaurant phone # to call if it looks like your running late and they might be able to push and accommodate.

You cannot call Disney restaurants. You call centralized reservations who can see what you see online and only what you see online. You can throw yourself on their mercy trying to cancel at ADR after 2 hours for fee and see if it sticks.

You can call some non-Disney owned restaurants like ones in DS and Yak & Yeti in AK. Sci-Fi is owned by Disney.

Thought all ADRs had a 15 min grace period?

OP mentioned 15-30 minutes late in the post I quoted.

Thanks for this! Can you cancel ADRs on the app? Or have to call?

As long as you aren’t within 2 hours you can cancel on the app. If the app errors out during that time you can also chat on the app to cancel.

Yes, it's definitely doable. MCO will probably take less than 1 hour to get your bags and in the Uber, and everything else seems accurate.

On which Saturday? We're getting our daily thunderstorms and although they are typically in the mid-late afternoon, we have had a few during the late morning. That can alter the flight path/plan by a few minutes and start the landing processional(s).
