ADR for dinner on arrival day?

[DisneyLove2015]

our nonstop flight is scheduled to arrive at 2:45. We will be taking DME to POFQ. I've only ever used DME once last year and we had a wonderful experience- we walked on to the bus and we left 5 minutes later. I know this isn't always the case. We didn't do an ADR that night so nothing to compare.
Right now we have a 6:00 at WCC booked for arrival night. DH has his heart set on WCC that night. Does 6:00 give us enough time to get to POFQ via DME, check in (will have done online check in too) and hop a bus to MK and either a bus or boat to WL?
If we were running really Late we would consider hopping a taxi to WL (only as last resort- we will have an 18 month old with us).
Thanks!

If your landing time is 2:45 you should at the least (conservative estimate) consider that you will arrive at POFQ around 4:30 to 4:45 (that is without delays). That appears to be enough time to go to WL from POFQ. Should you have flight or transport delays, all this might go out the window. I usually don't recommend an ADR for an arrival by plane unless there are at least 5 or 6 hours between arrival time and the ADR, because if you miss it, you'll be charged.

I would not be comfortable with that. To many ways/places to get delayed.

Is Scheduled is the important point. If you experience any delays - which are out of your control and unexpected - you are out of luck.
Personally I think it is too early and I would try to reschedule.

It's doable, but it's cutting it close. I do an arrival day ADR, but we arrive at about 1pm and have never had an issue with a 6pm ADR, in fact I'm usually checked-in and in a park by 4:00, but that's with no delays at all and it's with a rental car, so not waiting (potentially) on DME.

If I were you, I would push the ADR about an hour or 90 minutes later to give you some breathing room. If all goes smoothly and you're earlier, you can always spend the time exploring the resort (either your own or WL).
