ME question and ADR

[sedlmi]

I'll be arriving at MCO at 7pm and am staying at POFQ.

My problem is I have an ADR at Chef Mickey's at 9:05pm, so it may be a tight squeeze making it.

Can I take the CR bus instead and just check in after diner?

If not, should I just hop off ME at POFQ and go straight to the MK bus?

I would probably only check-in at POFQ at 10:30pm, would this be a problem?

If we don't make it, so be it...

You can only take the bus to the resort you are staying in. Also you need to let the resort know you are doing a late check-in.

You are best to take a taxi from POFQ.

Honestly, if I was arriving that late on the first night, I wouldn't even bother with an ADR - too much pressure to try to make everything work.

Just a note - if you are on the dining plan (and are planning on using credits at Chef Mickey's), you will need to check in at POFQ before dinner. Something you may need to factor into your timing plans.

Man, it's gonna be close. If eating there, that first night, is really important to you, then I would take a cab over to the CR. That's about the only way you're going to get there in time.
You have to take DME to your resort..your voucher will be scanned when you get on the bus.

You are cutting it thisclose. Figure it will take about 90 minutes to get to your resort using Magical Express. It can be a shorter or longer trip depending on how lucky you are that day. Best case still has you scrambling to make your ADR.

Is there anyway you could get by with carryons only? That way you could just grab a taxi, or you could get a towncar ahead of time. No waiting around that way.

Seems like an awful lot of work to make an ADR on the first night. I would definately take the pressure off, enjoy the ride on the ME, let your bags go to your room and just chill the first night.
