Timing

[jamen65]

I don't know if this is the right board to ask this on but here it goes anyway
We will be ariving on 4/25 our filght lands at 5:50 pm we are staying at POFQ do you think I can make a PS for Chef Mickys for 8 o'clock? I am going to get a town car to hotel .Do you think that is enough time for travel and check in?

That may be cutting it a bit close. How are you getting to DW? If your flight is delayed or the luggage takes a while to come out you could miss your PS. Also, check-in before Chef Mickeys? I think you'd be safer making a later PS. You don't want to feel pressured as you start off your wonderful trip. Enjoy!

Whew!!! It sounds like everything would have to go perfectly for you. Assuming you had no problems with your flight, I'd give myself 30 minutes at the airport to retrieve luggage and get the car. It's almost 30 minutes to Disney. Plan on check-in being a minimum of 15 minutes if no else is in line. You didn't mention what resort you are staying at but you've got to figure time from the resort to Chef Mickey's. I guess you could do it but..any chance of a different day???

I was afraid that it was cutting it short. We can do it a diffrent night.

Thanks for your answers!

I would do it on a different night. Definitely not enough time.

Flight lands at 5:50, takes ten minutes to clear the plane, so if you're not in front, it's 6:00 before you're off the plane.

Another ten minutes to the main terminal, and luggage will be out probably around 6:30.

Ten minutes for driver to load the car.

Half an hour to PO, minimum. Now it's 7:10. Check in, figure between waiting in line and getting your room key, another 20 minutes. 7:30.

Take luggage to room, throw it through the door, everyone needs a potty break, it's 7:45 (minimum before you're ready to go again.

Walk to front of resort, call a cab, wait five minutes for it to arrive.

Fifteen minute drive to CR, five minutes to get to CM's, it's 8:10.

That's if it all goes perfect.

The fod court at PO is quite good, and my bet is you'll be tired after traveling. I'd plan on food court dinner and either a swim or stroll along the river--or maybe a carriage ride if you wanted to start with something special. Then get to be early and hit the ground running the next morning!

Have a great trip!
