Timing of it all

[mmouse50]

Since I arrive at the airport at 10:55 pm spending the first night at the airport hotel - getting on ME the following morning to go to my hotel - Wilderness Lodge. I have a mani/pedi appt at the Wilderness Lodge at 1:00 and was told to arrive by 12:30. What time should I be at the ME desk for the bus to the resort? Is 10:30am too late / cutting it too close for the mani/pedi appt. arrival time?

DME times can vary (wait for bus, stops at other resorts) 10:30am is definitely not late or cutting it close.

10:30 check in for bus
On bus and leaving by 10:50?
Raw travel time ~11:30?
Stops at other resorts, add ~15-20?

I'd give more cushion than that. I'd leave the room by 9:30. It is a very short walk down to DME from the Hyatt. When you get to WL, what will you do with your bags? You will need a few minutes to drop them at the bell desk or take them to your room (if it's available that early).

I know it was extreme, but we once landed at 10:30am and got to Poly at 1. All 5 MK area resorts were on our route, and there were multiple accidents, one near the contemporary.

I don't think your ride will be that bad, but I'd rather sit and wait in the lobby for an hour than be on a bus wondering if I'm going to make it.

I agree with this response. I’d always err on the side of being early.

And waiting in the WL lobby is a pleasure! It’s gorgeous!

I would leave the room at 9:30 as well.....gives you much more time and you don't want to be rushed. Getting to DME at 10:30 will probably get you to WL in time, it usually takes around 90 mins or so, but I would rather err on the side of being early!
