Help me time my breakfast ADR

[Silly Little Pixie]

We're taking a red-eye flight from LA to MCO, arriving at 6 am. I have not used ME express before, but read the estimates to be about 70 minutes or so. So saying that even if we arrive at 6:30 am, we'd be at POR about 7:40. We'll go ahead and check in, and we want to have breakfast at Boatwright's before heading to the parks.

What time do you think we should make that ADR for breakfast? I was thinking 8:15, guessing that check in will not be overly busy at that time of morning on a Thursday am. How strict are the resorts with ADR times? Can we show up a few minutes early or have one of us run over if check in is taking longer? I don't really anticipate a flight delay, it's a nonstop and I've had great luck with that flight in the past.

Thanks for any and all help!

We just returned a few days ago..

Strictly from our experiences.. we were right on time just a couple times all week. We had kinda bad luck with some buses They never turned us away once. (Kona, Ohana's for ex.)I would think you'd be safe if you overshot it by 15 min or so.. If I'm not mistaken, Boatright's isn't QUITE as demanded as say, Ohana's or CRT Hopefully, they'd be able to accomodate you. I think they'll hold them for atleast 15 min.

With that said, if you think 8:15 is practical, maybe make it for 8:30. Show up early, if you'd like. Give yourself some cushion. Have a great trip!

I think you could make it for a little later than you expect - and you can always arrive early for it.

Thanks- I didn't know if they would take us early. We've never been to POR, so I'm not sure how in demand a breakfast ADR is.
