How Long to Get to Resort from Airport?

[NickieMouse MO]

Hi,
We're really new here. Our plane lands at 10:00am. Any idea how long it'll take to get to Coronado Springs?

With 5:00 Hoop De Doo Reservations that same night, does this give us any time for a park?

Hi There - usually 60-90 minutes. We are from Missouri as well, St. Louis area, hope you have a great time. Are you using the Magical Express ???

You may get 2-3 hours in at one of the parks, its takes a bit to get to the place where hoop de doo is, and you should be there a little early, its alot of fun ...

Hi CGQuill
Thanks for your replies! Yup, we're using the Magical Express.

Do you know which park would be the best w/ time and location to visit in order to make our dinner reservations on time?

(by the way, we're in St. Charles MO)

Thanks,
Nicole

We are in Chesterfield, not far from the Mall. Probably the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT, I think one of those has a boat that goes right to where you need to go, then you could take a bus home. With the Magical Express allow 60-90 minutes and you will not see your luggage until later in the day, so pack a small bag to take on the plane.

The best way to get to Fort Wilderness and the Hoop Dee Doo is to take the boat from right out in front of the Magic Kingdom. The boat lets you off just a short walk from the dock to the HDD. If Magic Kingdom is still open when you get out and it should be, take the boat back and take a bus from there back to your resort. If you do not want to take a boat you have to take Fort Wilderness internal bus (one that says Outpost) and then take a bus from the Outpost to any park. Have fun.

I agree with cguill and pooh4me. Mk is the park to visit then take the boat to FW

I agree with the others, do the MK and then take the ferry outside the main entrance to the Wilderness Lodge/Camp Wilderness. With a 5:00 dinner you should have to problem either returning to the MK or taking a bus back to your resort.

If you take the Magical Express from the airport all you have to do is check in at your resort and go. You don't have to go to your room unless you want to because they will deliver your bags, but you do have to check in so you can get your Key to the World (and your Room )

I have heard that sometimes the buses at the airport wait for up to 30 minutes for other guests to arrive. It would be perfect if you got on ME and they left immediately but plan for a delay.
