Narcoossee's on first night of honeymoon?

[HauntedPirates]

We will be heading down September 6-15 for our honeymoon. We arrive at 5:50 on Saturday night. We wanted to eat somewhere quiet/romantic that's outside of the parks, and this seems to be the place.

Do you think a 9 pm reservation gives us enough time from the airport/check in/resort travel, etc. They have 9-10 open in 15 minute increments.

Our rule of thumb is that it will take 3 hours from arrival at MCO to starting the "fun part" of our vacation, but even then we wouldn't make a dining reservation less than 4 hours after arrival. We allow 90 minutes from landing to arriving at the resort. On average it takes 60-70 minutes, but there have been times when deplaning is very slow, there's a wait on the bus and 2-3 resort stops before ours. Check in usually goes quickly, but sometimes there's a line. You'll also have to allow travel time (45-90 minutes) from your resort to the restaurant unless you're staying at the Grand Floridian. If you are not staying at one of the MK resorts you can take a taxi to save time.

Another thing to keep in mind is planes don't always arrive on time and there are many reasons for a travel delay. If you miss your dinner reservation you will be charged the $10 per person no show penalty.

I've nothing to add to what purple figment said, but... My wife and I had a Disneymoon and our first night's dinner was at Narcoossee's. It was pretty awesome.

As Purple Figment mentioned, it'll be close. We factor 1.5 hours from the airport, assuming you are having Disney pick up your luggage, to a Disney resort. 30-60 minutes to check in and get settled in your room, 30 minutes for the busses assuming you will not have a car (I don't know where you're staying, and I'd generally plan longer for busses, but I have padded the rest). So you could potentially make it, assuming there are NO DELAYS. You may want to save that ressie for a less time-crunched night.

Have a great honeymoon!
