Realistic timing off the plane and into the park

Very doable. I almost always land at MCO around that time, always check a bag, and have always been in a park by noon. Idk where your home airport is but it sounds like you’re coming in on one of if not the first flight of the day from it, and barring some kind of one off craziness like a Crowdstrike type situation, those flights run like clockwork. I’ve yet to be delayed coming in on similar ones from JFK and sometimes even land early.

Yes, bag claim can sometimes take a while but even when it has I have still made it to the inside of a park before noon. Just shy of it at the very latest--last May my partner’s bag took forever to come out, probably like 40 minutes, but we still made it to YC and walked over to Epcot at about 11:45. That was with doing a grocery stop to pick up a Publix order, even.

Thank you! We are coming from STL, direct, leaving here at 6:30 CT. I’m going to err on the side of caution and start LLMPs at 1:30 I think. I still have over a week to stress about that.
