Could you please clarify your question?
Are you saying that your plane arrives at the airport (MCO?) at 8pm?
Are you renting a car or taking Disney transportation from the airport?
How long do you plan to stay in Orlando?
Do you have park tickets yet, and if yes, how many days?

FYI - All-Star Music is 30 minutes of driving from the airport, after you are in your vehicle.

BTW - Here is a link to May 2014 park hours:
http://media.disneywebcontent.com/StaticFiles/DTA-Domestic/pdf/ParkHours/WDW_Operating_Calendar_may.pdf

On May 21:
Magic Kingdom is open 9am-10pm (10pm fireworks)
Epcot is open 9am-9pm (9pm Illuminations show)
Hollywood Studios is open 9am-830pm (but Fantasmic starts at 9pm)
Animal kingdom is open 9am-7pm

And there are no evening extra magic hours for that day. But the Magic Kingdom has morning extra magic hours on the next day

YOu should plan on getting to the resort around 9:30ish.. If it were me I would check in ad explore the resort. May be go to DTD and grab a bit to eat. That way you can make it an early to bed night and hit the ground running early the next day.

So much depends on the ages of your kids. If they are around 10ish they might really enjoy going in the pool at night when it's dark. If they are teenagers with plenty of energy then DTD would be fun to get into the spirit. Needless to say if they are younger than 10ish, heading to bed would be the best option so you can get an early start.

I wouldn't waste a day's ticket on a park after arriving that late and being tired from traveling.

Arriving at MCO at 8pm means you wont get settled into the resort until about 10pm. I know you are all wound up and all but I would just chill for the night and be ready for the morning.
