If you have a hire car could be there by 5.30pm if all goes smoothly. Not sure sbout arrival time if using Virgins transfer.

Earliest we managed was 6.30pm. In later years with extra security checks its been more like 7.30pm. Depends on so many factors, its a hard one to estimate.

And, of course, that's local time. Your body may well feel as though it's still on UK time - around midnight.

I know the advice is always to adjust your watch to the local time at your destination as soon as you board the plane, but I still find it hard to overcome that feeling of exhaustion at the end of the flight. We're always too tired to do anything much at all on our first evening, but I know of other DISers who can party the night away !

(Maybe it's an age thing......... )

we usually get the 11:15 flight from Gatwick and we have been know to checked in at our hotel on Hotel Plaza Boulevard, unpack our bag (only stayed for 1 night so wasnt much) freshened up and drove to Epcot and been walking under the 'Golf Ball' at 6pm - boy were we lucky.

Only happened the once though. At the end of February we were waiting for our luggage landside at 5:45. Just goes to show no reasoning to any of it really. Bit of a lucky dip.
Chances are you wont feel like doing much, possibly short walk and a snack - ready for Day 1 of the Magic.
