Dinner @ AKL Lodge - is this possible?

[jonsmom57]

Hi Everyone

Our flight arrives @ 3:40 pm and we are staying at POFQ - would like to have dinner at AKL at 7:00 pm - is it possible to check in and make it over to the lodge by 7pm?

Also, we are taking DME - do we have to go directly to our hotel or can we put our luggage on the bus and have it taken to POFQ andtake a different bus to AKL?

Any ideas/suggestions are welcome!

If you were driving or taking a Towncar, I'd say you would have no problem. But, with DME, all bets are off. It depends where in the lineup your resort falls. I don't think you'll know that til you get there.
Even with the worst case scenario, you could always get a cab from POFQ to AKL if you are too short on time for Disney transpo. We often cab from resort to resort for dinners. POFQ to AKL should run you about $15, including tip.

My guess would be that they will only take you to your hotel.

If you arrive at 3:40 and figure 30 mins before getting on ME and about an hour to get to your hotel you should arrive about 5:30. Giving you 1.5 hrs to get to AKL which sounds doable but it all depends on how quickly you get to your hotel from the airport.

I think you're on a REALLY tight shcedule with that one. I would think that you're going to have to cab it for POFQ to AKL in order to safely make it without stressing too much. It really depends on how early you get there, and how much freshening up you need / want to do before dinner.

Thanks everyone for your responses. I think I will make a ressie for 7:30 and if it seems like we will make it, fine, if not, we will go to DTD and have a bite to eat there. Don't want to get too stressed over it!
