I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, if not I apologize. My flight will be landing at 9:25am, and we will be taking the Magical Express to Port Orleans Riverside. Is it realistic to make reservations for T Rex in DTD for 12:30, or is that pushing it. The next available time is 1:30, I just have a feeling we will be hungry at this point. Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Expect to arrive 90 minutes after deboarding the plane.

Expect about 15 to 30 minutes or so to check-in and then hit the marina to catch the water taxi. That is about a 15 minute ride and about a 10 minute walk over to T-%ex. You may just make it right at 12:30 pm.

Assuming you're letting DME take care of your checked luggage, you should be @ POR ~11. By the time you get checked in, then get the bus (or boat, there's a boat between POR and DTD IIRC), I think you're fine. That's assuming everything runs "normal". But, what happens if your plane is late?

Personally, I wouldn't book an ADR as the first meal after flying in. Could you plan on a QS lunch (either at POR or DTD), and do T Rex for dinner?

This is my advice as well. There are just too many things that can go wrong on arrival day.
 

I would probably do the later one. But my question is...are you calling T-Rex directly to get dining reservations? If not, do so. You'll likely find more availability that way.

I didn't call t Rex directly but I think I'm going to try that. Thanks so much!
