First FP+ Selection for Day-Of Arrival?

[Elias1901]

Hey all,

We are scheduled to land at MCO for 10:27 AM on our upcoming trip. We are utilizing Disney's Magical Express to get to our hotel (Coronado). We plan to hit the parks as soon as we drop our baggage at the hotel and hop the next bus (probably to Disney's Hollywood Studios). My question is for those who have got the timing all worked out for approx arrival times on property, etc. With a landing time of 10:27 AM... what time should I be looking for our first FP+ selection to be at?

I don't want to book too late and undercut the possibility of grabbing another FP+ after we use our first set of three... but at the same time I don't want to undershoot things and have a return time that's too early to potentially make.

Thoughts?

Maybe something around 1. Gives you 90 minutes from wheels down to the resort. Then about an hour from the resort to tapping in at the attraction. You can always try and move the first one up if you get there earlier.

If you are concerned with overshooting your park arrival, you can book FP#1 for 12:30... you have until 1:45 to enter the FP line.
