We get in at 9:05 am to MCO, taking ME to Old Key West. We have already done on line check information for June 3. How soon can I expect to be in Epcot? Thanks
 
ME to the resort, drop your bags then take the bus to Epcot...

11:30am at the soonest. I wouldn't make an ADR for any sooner than 2pm
 
From the time you get off your plane, walk to DME, and get to your resort it is about 60-90 minutes. We have never arrived much after that. Check in, if room is ready, go, drop your bags and catch the bus to EPCOT. If your room is not ready, just leave your carryons with bell services. Figure you can be in the park by 11:30 - 12:00 depending on the resort bus.
 
We usually go straight to a park after checking in on arrival day. Assuming your flight is on time and that ME is taking your checked bags and you aren't picking them up yourselves. I would guess you would hit EPCOT between 12 and 12:30 p.m.

To get to a resort using ME has never taken us less than an hour from the time our flight touched down, and once took us 2 hours. I think about an hour and a half is probably the norm. That would put you at the resort around 10:30 to 10:40. Then, you have to get checked in and if they have a room ready, go check out the room, or if they don't have the room ready, get all your carry ons checked in with bell services. Then you have the wait for the bus and about a 20 minute ride from the resort to Epcot. That should put you at Epcot somewhere around the noon hour is my best guess.
