Avg. time from landing to park???

I know there are many variables, but when planning your arrival day, how much time do you plan for plane touching down to getting into a theme park. We are using ME and staying onsite at Pop, arriving on a Monday in late Sept. around noon. I am just trying to make dining reservations for dinner that night and do not know if 4:20pm is too ambitious for Liberty Tree.

You are looking at 60 - 90 minutes to get to Pop, then anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour for checkin at Pop, then 20 minutes to 1 hour bus transportation to Magic Kingdom.

So worst case scenario 3 1/2 hours from landing to Magic Kingdom.

We fly SW, land at 10:30am take ME and are checked in and eating lunch at POP by Noon. That's been our experience the past 3 times.

I've used DME to POP several times now. On two of the trips, POP was the first resort on the route. And it took 70 mins. But, last May, POP was the last resort. It took about 85-90 mins to get there. There were a large number of people that brought their baggage with them so it added time to get the bags out of the bus.
Then, I've waited 10 mins to checkin, but as long as 30 mins. So, worst case scenario for you...flight lands at noon, at the resort checkin line by 1:30 (longest time), 30 mins to check in..now it's 2:00. If your room is ready, head there and freshen up. Back to the bus..to MK. You should be able to be in MK by 3:30.

I read in one of my Disney World guide books to plan one to one and half hours.
