ME at 5pm on a Thursday - how bad is rush hour?

How bad is rush hour traffic around 5pm from the Orlando airport to WDW (CSR, specifically)? We normally arrive on the weekend but this time are arriving on a Thursday evening. We will be taking ME and I am debating between two flights - one that has us arriving at 4:45pm, and the other at 7:30pm. I'd prefer to take the earlier one, but maybe not if we'll be sitting in traffic for an hour. Thoughts?

You are on a toll road that is never horribly busy and the on Disney property for a short time. The traffic won't be bad. For the first flight you might be getting some leaving work traffic; for the second you will have park closing traffic. I would let the time you want to arrive be your guide.

Agree with previous poster. Highly doubt you would see any traffic impact at all.
