I am trying to decide on flights for our August trip, and I am debating on arriving at 11:30am or 3:30pm. Since we are coming from CO the 11:30 is super early flight; how long would it take us to get to our resort? If we miss out going to the park that day, it may not be worth the extra sleep to take the later flight.
 
In general it has always taken us about 90 mins from the time we land to the time we get the resorts. It could be longer if the bus just left and you have to wait. We have been lucky enough most of the time we walk right on the bus and have had a minimal wait for it.
 
If you land at 11:30, you'll have plenty of time in the parks! We landed as late as 1:30 and still had a full day in the parks.
 
Seventy to ninety minutes from stepping into the terminal to arrival at the resort. Longer if you mosey through the terminal. Shorter if everything meshes: first off the plane, monorail doors open just as you get to it, DME-tagged luggage, your bus is almost completely boarded when you get in line, b u s departs as soon as you're seated, your resort is the first stop. Even with being among the last to get off the plane, I still once did it in 59 minutes!
 

One other option is hiring a towncar/SUV/Limo. It's so much faster than MCO, the service is great and the company we always use has a free grocery stop included. We like to arrive as early as possible and then hit the parks.

I have heard reports that you can hire the Minnie Van or take Uber/Lyft from the airport, but we have never used these services.
