Recent ME experiences

Our flight arrives at 3:10 p.m. We are using the ME to get to Pop. Will we make it to a 5:20 ADR at Chef Mickeys?

Hi and welcome to the DIS!

If one or more of these things happen you might be sweating it out:

1) Your flight is late.
2) You need extra time to get off the plane, for example if you are sitting near the back or sitting behind people with small children.
3) You have trouble finding where you are going to get your ME bus.
4) You run into traffic leaving the airport or on the way to POP.
5) The line to check in at POP is long.
6) When you are ready to go to dinner, you just miss a bus from POP to the MK.
7) When you get to the MK you just miss a monorail to the CR and have to wait for the next one or have to walk to the CR.

You an eliminate numbers 6 and 7 by taking a taxi from POP to the CR. Other than that, if everything goes well you will make it. But if you run into some problems you will be late.

Good luck!!

Make sure to take a carry on with anything you might need for the dinner. Change of clothes if needed. Luggage gets into your room later so you will not have that before you need to get to your ressie.

I think that is cutting it close!

It took us almost two hours from touchdown at MCO to AKL, then you will need to check in which often take a while.

From POP to Chef Mickeys you will need to take a bus to MK and then walk or take the monorail to CR, this could take a some time as well.

It's not really a big deal if you're late for Chef Mickey's. They'll just put your name on the list to get a table when you finally arrive.

POP is almost always the first stop, you'll probably get to POP in just in around an hour. Your flight could be delayed, you might have a line to check in and you might have to wait 20 minutes for a bus to the MK.

I wouldn't cut it that close if it was for something like HDD where you really can't be late.
