ADR time and MNSSHP

[erinericmom]

I have an ADR for 50's prime time on 10/13 at 1:25 do you think we will have enough time to eat and go back to our resort(POR) to rest before MNSSHP or should I try for an earlier lunch time? I did check and some were available around 11:30 and noon. Thanks in advance

I'd go with an earlier time, just to keep your options open.

It really would depend on how long you wanted to rest and how early you wanted to be at the party. With lunch around 1:30 you should be finished around 2:30. You could be back to POR between 3:00 and 3:30, depending on how long you wait for a bus and where your room is/which stop. You can get into MNSSHP at 4:00 with your party ticket, but obviously you couldn't go that early if you wanted to rest.

Decide what time you want to get to MNSSHP. Count back an hour from that for transportation time and getting into the park. Figure out how much time you want to allow for a rest and getting ready to go to the party (I'd say 1 1/2-2 hours if you aren't swimming), and count back that amount of time. Then count back about 45 minutes for travel time from DHS to POR. That will give you the time you want to leave DHS. Go back at least an hour from that time and you'll know the latest time to make an ADR.

If you have an earlier ADR than you need it will give you more flexibility in choosing what time to leave the park, instead of cutting it close and feeling rushed.

If it was me I would plan on trying to get an earier time for dinning reservations, if possible. Every time I planned for an hour for a meal on our last trip, it always took at least a min. of 1 1/2 hours, you really do want to enjoy the 50's primetime and not feel rushed!!! Be at MNSSHP as early as possible, so you can get the most out of your night...my family is going to have brunch in Magic Kingdom, and then have a c/s dinner before MNSSHP, I am learning from my last trip!!!!! Have a great night whatever you decide, the party is so much fun!!!!
