I'll take a stab at a few.

General stuff:
There is no direct transportation from one resort to another resort. You will have to go to a park or DTD and then transfer to another form of transportation to get from your resort to another resort.

We allow 1 hour for getting from one place to another in most cases, Disney dining tells you 1.5 hours using Disney transportation. We usually have a car, but still plan on an hour.

We plan 1.5 hours for sit-down meals and that works well most of the time, a few have been longer and most have been a bit shorter than that.

ME picks up three hours before your flight time - and I think you have to be waiting around 15 mins before that. They should tell you @ the resort on your ME paperwork.

Almost every restaurant you have asked about is a buffet or family style restaurant. In these types of restaurants you have much more control over how long the meal takes. If you wanted to you could in theory eat and be out of each one in about 30 minutes. However if you want to to eat leisurely and want to wait until all of the characters make their rounds you probably should allow 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Often in the character restaurants I find that we eat rather quickly but end up sitting and waiting for the full cast of characters to come around to our table. For the non-buffet restaurant I would also allow 60-90 minutes. With the exception of signature restaurants I have found that our average dining time is about 75 minutes.

ME to each resort takes between 70-90 minutes. I've been lucky on our trips and we usually do it in about and hour from the time we exit our aircraft.

On the day you leave ME will pick you up approximately 3 hours prior to your flight's departure time for domestic flights and 4 hour prior for international flights. You will be given a specific time to be at the DME bus stop and it is suggested that you arrive 15 minutes early.

There are many different ways or combinations of travel to get from POR to 1900 Park Fare at the GF. Personally I would probably catch the bus to MK and then the monorail to the GF.

2. Also how soon should we leave Universal Studios to get to here by car?

I'd allow 30-45 minutes to drive to Universal - depending on the time of day and traffic. I'd allow the same time to return from Universal - once you've exited the parking garage.

Sept 28th - POR to 1900 Park Fare
1. Which bus do I take from POR?
2. How long before my reservation time to start taking the bus?
3. If I do have a car, how do I get there?

1. You will need to take the bus to Magic Kingdom, then take the Monorail over to the Grand Floridian.
2. I'd allow at least an hour.
3. Once you exit your resort, just follow the signs to the Magic Kingdom Resort area ... then follow the signs to the Grand Floridian. You'll need to tell Security at the gate to the GF that you're there for dinner.

The time from the gate to resort is, on average, about 70 mins. If your flight arrives ontime, at 9am, you should be at POR by 10:15ish.

From POR to the various parks is about a 15 min ride..some a bit longer, some shorter.

POR to DTD by boat is about 30 mins.

The vast majority of meals at WDW are going to run about an hour..unless you really linger. I have never spent more than that at a meal.

The ride to SeaWorld is about 20 mins, the ride to US/IoA is about 30 mins.

To get to 1900 Park Fare, you can drive to the Grand Floridian and park there for the time you are eating. I would just take the bus from your resort to MK and then the boat from there to the GF for dinner.

For a 5:30 flight, DME will give you a pickup time of about 2:30. You will need to be back at POR, ready to go, no less than 30 mins before the pickup time. The time you are given is the time the bus is due to leave the resort..NOT the time you should head to the bus stop. Be at the bus stop, ready to board, about 15 mins before the time you are given.
