best way to get to Mickeys BBQ from Allstars?

We are thinking of not doing park our first night in but would love to do this. However, wanting to know how long to allot to get there. We arrive at 4pm and hoping to be at the hotel by 5:30 any suggestions?

A few options....
Take a bus to Downtown Disney, then a bus to FW then an internal bus to the settlement.
I think the best option would be to take to Downtown Disney, then to either Magic Kingdom or Contemporary, then take the boat over the FW, that way you are at the back and closer to the BBQ, no extra bus internally needed.
Either way, allow about an hour, if you are lucky it will be less.

Ok, my brain wasn't totally working, lol.
Take a bus to Magic Kingdom, then hop on boat to FW.
Much quicker.
Sorry.

That is the correct way, but the BBQ is at 6:30 pm. You will be cutting it VERY close if you get to your resort at 5:30pm. You will need to check in to the resort. (The lines to check in at the Values can be quite long. You'll need to get your actual paper tickets for the barbecue which is at a different desk, then wait on a bus to MK, then wait on a boat to Ft. Wilderness.

You really need to get to Ft. Wilderness by 6pm, which with your 4pm flight arrival time is cutting it waaaay to close. Even if you take a taxi to Ft. Wilderness, you would then have to take an internal Ft. Wilderness bus to the BYBBQ.

Since this is a prepaid meal, I just wouldn't chance it on arrival day with that short of travel time.
