Enough time for 3:45 pm ADR?

[buzzman88]

We'll arrive on a Saturday at the airport at around noon and I have a 3:45 pm ADR at CP, which means we have to take a Disney bus from our hotel (all Star) to MK.

Do you think we have enough time to do this?

Does your flight arrive at noon...or do you predict that you will be out of the airport at noon?

If your flight arrives at noon, you are gonna be hard pressed to make it...Figure if you arrive on time (big stretch) at 12:00, it will take you at least 30-60 mins to get out of the airport...thats 1:00...another 40-50 mins to get to the resort...thats 1:50...If you can check in that will take you about 45 mins, thats 2:35. Then wait for and catch a bus to the MK...anywhere from 35-60 mins (3:35)...Walk from bus stop to CP...10-20 mins (depending on if there is a line at the entrance plaza)...Right in the time frame...and that is if everything goes off well...Cuttin' it pretty close! I'd say 4:30 to be a little safer...

We arrived in Orlando at 2:15PM and just barely made it to our 5:25PM reservations traveling by bus from AKL to AK RainForest Cafe(Short Ride). You would think 3 hours would be enough but apparently it does take a while to do the airport thing in Orlando with little kids. If you are not traveling with kids there is still alot of waiting and checking in that takes time. I would allow a 4 hour gap just so you don't miss your time.

It depends how married you are to the free transportation.

If you keep your AR you might make it -- if everything goes just right. But you could -- if it looks like you're running late -- switch and take a taxi either from the airport to the hotel or from the hotel to MK.

Of course it depends on the size of your party, but for us it is sometimes worth it for the lack of hastle and the time savings.

Thanks for the response everyone.

I think I may just have to grab a quick bite at the airport and change our ADR to a later time (unfortunately the only time available at this time is 7:50 pm).
