We arrive at MCO at 10:30pm, not checking suitcases, and will have a car through Alamo Insiders, so we should get out of the airport fairly quickly. Is there anyplace on Disney property that serves food after 11:30-ish? I was thinking maybe ESPN Club or the Brewery at the Boardwalk might still be open for a late night snack before checking into POP (very late, I know... how late is POP's food court open in October??)

Would not count on food at food court that late..love it over to POP but food court closes 11:59PM was posted yesterday.might be able to get a pizza still but not sure----.know my sister and BIL ordered from off site pizza last year when their flight was delayed and was very late getting to POP. they did have to walk up front to meet the pizza driver as guess they can not go down into the rooms area:confused3 but that worked for them as they were hungry. ESPN might be open later I am not sure or the Brewery on Boadwalk...check allears.net pull up menus and maybe will tell on there.:dance3:
 
Picabu at the Dolphin is open 24 hours. I have never eaten there but the reviews are good. The counter service spots at the Poly the CR and the GF are all open 24 hours.
 
picabu is good, but if you make it, check out Kimono's. It is really good and super fun.

Kimono's kitchen closes at midnight so you'd make it in time if your flight arrives on schedule.

as other posters have said, the CS at Poly and GF are open 24 hours like Picabu.
 

Our plane pretty much always arrives late and we are always starving when we land so we have much experience with this. Though the CS at GF and Poly are technically open 24 hours, after 11 p.m. there is no hot food. Only refrigerated and snack type stuff. We've done Picabu at 11ish - highly recommend - and the grill was still working but I am not sure if it operates 24 hours.

The McDonald's by All Stars is open 24 hours (the drive thru, at least. Lobby is open until 1:00 a.m.)

Nothing at DTD has ever panned out for us late night.

I would consider off-property. Last trip, we went to the 24 hour Steak and Shake just off property. We don't have them in Colorado so it was something different for us!

Giordano's, a delish stuffed Chicago-style pizza chain, is near Steak and Shake and is open until at least 11 - we planned to order a pizza when we got our car at the airport and pick it up on our way to the hotel but we had a luggage snafu so couldn't do it this trip.

Maybe some of this is helpful? :)
 
The ESPN Club serves their Entree/Main Course items until 11:30 PM and their Appetizers/Starter items are available until 12:30 AM. Plus unless there happens to be a major sporting event happening which will cause a line up to get in and their tables to be taken since they don't accept ADR's, after 10:00 PM you can always walk-in without a wait and sit at any table you want.

Also among the Monorail Resorts the Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary is the only Quick Service location that is not open 24 hours, because they close each night at 12:00 AM and that includes everything available on their menu.
 
Dominos Pizza delivers until 3am. Call ahead to a few of the places. Sometimes the airport might be the best bet for something quick. JW
 
Planet Hollywood at DTD is open until midnight, T Rex Cafe until 11:30, and UNO Chicago Grill just outside of DTD is open pretty late too.

Counter service at the Grand Floridian was surprisingly poor quality, even when their grill was working. Since you'll have a car, I'd definitely eat off property.
 
Do not plan on anything to be available at the airport.

Just an FYI, we arrived at 11:30 last year and had just enough time to rush down to the food court area to McDonalds (only place open, and seemed like it was that way for sometime) and snag some fries and water before they closed at midnight. We actually placed our order around 12:05, and there were people behind us being turned away. We were staying at the Hyatt, so our only other option would have been their restaurant, which it looked like was just a bar serving appetizer like food.

OP - We always arrive late too cuz we prefer a non-stop flight. This time we arrive at 8:30 and will be heading straight to ASsports and to the food court, since it doesn't close until 12:00 and we have TiW. Otherwise, I think we'd pick up food on the way to the hotel, there are lots of options nearby; fast food, casual, and sit down type places all along international drive.
