How long to get from MCO to the POLY using ME

[lillykat]

I wondering if anyone can tell me whether we will make our dining reservation or if I should try to change it and make it later again.

We have ADR's at 1900 Park Fare for 645 pm. Our flight gets in on Jet Blue at 238 pm (on a Sat in Mid May) and we are staying at the POLY. Will we make our ADR or should I push it back further?

You should have plenty of time. It only takes about 30-40 minutes from MCO to Disney property.

Enjoy your dinner.

Oh great!! We are going for DD#1 who HAS to eat w/ cinderella and I would rather not push it later b/c I don't want them overtired and I can't switch it to another night b/c our other meals are all planned for the week. So even if our flight is a bit delayed we should still make it.

The 30 or 40 minutes from MCO to your resort is ride only. That is, once your bus leaves the airport it should only be about that long. You may not leave the airport right away. They typically try to fill the DME busses as full as they can. So you may leave fairly quickly, or sit on the bus for 20 minutes first. Not to mention that the last time I used DME we waited 20 minutes in line before boarding the bus.

Your flight is scheduled to land at 238, if there are no delays. That means you will get to the DME counter around 3pm. From there depending on lines and luck, it will be an hour to an hour and a half before getting to the Poly. So you arrive around 430 or 500. Then you have to check in. So with luck you will be in your room by 530. So that still gives you an hour to freshen up and hop the monorail (or walk) to the Grand Floridian for dinner. I think you have it timed just about right!

Average time, from gate to resort, is about 70 mins. If you land at 2:38, you 'should' be at the Polynesian by about 4pm-ish, perhaps a bit later.
