ME conundrum

[4maxwelz]

We're arriving 11/20 (Friday B4 Thanksgiving) @ 4:30pm and have tickets to the 9pm Cirque show. Will we be pushing it to take ME from the airport, check in, and then get to DDD (may have to grab a snack for the kiddos in there too)? We're worried about flight delays or ME waits or anything out of our control that would cause us to be late for or miss the (very expensive) show. Thoughts?

You should be fine ... but then again I'd be the most nervous about flight delays.

If you land on-time, expect to be at your resort by 6. Let's even say it's a VERY bad day and you get there by 6:30 (it really shouldn't happen that way, but let's pretend).

You'll be checked in and then in your room by 7. Back to the resort's bus stop by 7:15. Up to a 20 minute wait for the bus to DTD, then maybe a 15 minute ride (depending on what resort you're at). So then it's 7:50 at the latest, then a 10-minute walk from the bus stop to the theater, so it's 8:00.

So you should have time in there to grab a quick bite.

Personally, I'd spring for a taxi from the resort to DTD, just to shave some time and shave off some stress of wondering when the bus will come.

Or procrastinate on the check in while you give the carry-ons to the bellhop and immediately hop the bus to DTD (Cirque).

If your flight is ontime, or close to it, you should be at POP, and checked in by 7. While one adult checks in, the other can head to the food court and get something for the kids. I would freshen up quickly and then take a cab to DTD. It will be much faster than waiting for the bus. The cab can drop you right up close to the Cirque area.
