Magic Express to Hotel?

[smhwalker2011]

What time would we be at our hotel if our flight lands at 6:11pm? We're taking the magical express, no checked bags.. just carry ons. We have a late ADR for 9:50pm that night at another resort, so I just want to make sure we will be able to make it!

I always plan for it take about 90 minutes, but it most likely will take less time (and under unusual circumstances it could take more). In all likelihood you'll be at your resort well before 8 p.m. which should leave plenty of time to get to your ADR.

As already mentioned, 90 minutes from deplaning to arrival at the resort is common. However, flight delays could throw a wrench into your plans regardless of DME travel time. Just be certain that you're okay with paying the $10pp no-show fee if you should get delayed and miss your ADR.

I've had Magical Express take as little as 70 minutes to get me to my resort. I've also had it take over 2 hours.

The longest we have ever had ME take to get us to our resort was 2 hours from the time our flight landed. 90 minutes is typical. On a lucky day 60 minutes. In any event, as long as you do not have any flight delays you should have time.

Cutting it close. You go to resort add 90 minutes. Drop stuff off. Get ready take bus to park transfer to other resort bus another hour. Cutting it close. I'd bag it.

Not sure what resort you are staying at and what resort your ADR is planned for.. but I would really consider taking a cab to your adr, after DME drops you off and you check-in. It is quicker and not that much money- we did this a few times last trip for a couple of our resort adrs... going from POFQ to GF and POFQ to BC. It was only $12-15 cab fare and a lot quicker than having to take the buses to a park and then to the resort for dinner.

I've had it take 2 1/2 hours once, and 90 minutes the other time.

I agree to consider Uber or a cab to your ADR. Disney transport doesn't go directly from one resort to another.

We've had early morning flights and got to our resort in about an hour. We are doing a mid-afternoon flight and planning on a little longer. I believe that @maxiesmom is correct. Depends on the time of day. We are arriving on a Sunday, so hopefully most people will be leaving WDW.
