arrival time from MCO to BLT

[WDWFERN]

Hi all, just trying to plan our arrival day for an upcoming trip. While we have generally used magical express in the past we are planning on using a car service this time to decrease transit time a bit. Can anyone tell me what the usual time from flight landing to arrival at BLT would be? I was thinking around 90 minutes, but wasn't sure if this was realistic. We will have to stop at the baggage claim to get checked luggage. Thanks!

Depending on how long it takes for your bags to be deplaned, 90 minutes is a very good number. We always rent a car and drive our selves and usually make to Disney property within an hour of landing.

Have a great trip!

We came in in the evening time. Took us about 45 mins, but that was the beginning of February and not too crowded

Using DME we are usually at our resort within 60-70 minutes (often 45 minutes) so allowing for 90 should be fine to get your luggage and pick up the rental car. The drive itself can be 25-45 minutes depending on which resort you are staying. (We usually stay at OKW which is normally the first stop.)

Thanks everyone. I wanted to make a lunch ADR, and just wanted to be sure I was allowing enough time. I appreciate the replies!

I send the family on the ME bus I take a taxi, they get the baggage. last it ran me with tip was 70 bucks,, best 70 spent on vacation, just seems that the half hour i gain is a world of difference in the check in procedure EVEN WITH ONLINE CHECKIN....ALSO we get the better rooms first !
