Have you ever gotten into Orlando early?

Our plane lands at 7:20am and we'll be picked up by Tiffany and make a quick grocery stop - then on to check in at CSR......how long do you think before we'll be able to be in a park?

I think we are doing AK first but we may change to MK depending on timing.

Thanks so much

I would think that you can make it to the park between 9:30 and 10:00 using Disney transportation. It seems like it takes me about an hour and a half from the time my flight lands until the time I reach the hotel when I do the grocery stop. Figure on 20 minutes to check in (because that always takes longer than you expect it to). If your room is ready, you'll probably want to get somewhat settled before taking off, so that will push it closer to the 10:00 range.

I think you will be able to be in the park aleast past lunch time.
You might even get there before that. If you do decide to go to MK Space Mountain will probaly be a very long line.
If you do go to AK the safari ride will be a little busier than SM.

Hope your trip is fun!!!Have a great time!!!

I would plan on not getting your room immediately which will free you up sooner. One year we landed at 9:38 am, got a rental car from Dollar using FastLane, checked in at AllStar Music, leaving our bags there and hit WorldShowcase by 11. You'll get a card with a number to call, free from within WDW, to check on when your room is ready. We captured an extra day this way.

I agree with 9:30-10:00 Enjoy CSR!

I was going to suggest the same thing as Bill - just check bags and hop on the bus, Gus!

That's exactly what we did- checked the bags and hopped on a bus! Advice though; don't forget your camera like I did. I was so in a hurry to get to the parks, I forgot to even check the bags for stuff I wanted to bring with me.

In October I landed at 7:25. I also used a town car service, but did not do the grocery stop. I was dropped off at CBR, checked in and checked my bags (room wasn't ready yet.) I hopped on a bus to MGM. I was in the park on Hollywood Blvd a good 5-10 minutes before rope drop. It was very cool. However I was travelling alone and it's a lot easier to move quickly when it's just me. I would still think you could be there by 9:30-10 at the latest.
