Getting to HS day of flight

[Disneygrl71]

Our plane lands at 11:30 am, we will grab our bags, catch ME and head to CSR to check in, grab groceries from garden grocer and drop bags off. Will we have time to make a 3:45 food reservation?

Depends on traffic and time of day , weather delays..., security delays... flight on time , delayed departure.
I would risk making a dining reservation if it is just 1 or 2guests and the cancel fee would only be $10 or $20 but that is about it.

Thank you! It’s just me and my son. I think I’ll keep it and hope for the best. We will Lyft over there to save some time from waiting on the buses.

I avoid booking dining reservations on arrival day. You never know what will happen. That said, if everything goes as planned (no flight delays, etc.), you should make it.

The only thing that would concern me about your plan is dealing with Garden Grocer before heading to the park. To me, that's one more thing to worry about getting delayed. Catching ME, dropping bags with guest services, and heading right back out to DHS would almost certainly have time unless you have a really ridiculous wait for DME (>2.5 hours) or your flight gets delayed.

Yeah, I may have the groceries delivered later or have them left with bell services.
Of course, with DME I’ve heard of long delays soI

I guess we will play everything by ear.

Lyft will definitely cut down on some of the time spent waiting but I think playing it by ear is worth it since the cancellation fee is relatively low. Best of luck!

Lately the lines for DME have been INSANE. _I_ would take Lyft from airport to resort, then bus to the park.

A lot of variables out of your control.
Will your plane land on time?
How long will the line to DME be? What number stop is your resort?
You should be able to be in your room (if its ready) by 2-2:30. Our last trip, the room wasn't ready till 3:30, normally its available by 1.
It could work, but could be stressful.
Goo dluck.

That’s a great idea, we may do this instead! I’ll look and see what the cost is for that option
