Total time from landing in MCO to arrival at a park gate?

[carly3592]

Hi!

I'm flying down in July to Disney World and I'm planning in going to a park, probably Epcot, that same day. I was wondering how long it would take (approximately) to:
-Land and depart plane at MCO, and get on Magical Express
-Ride Magical Express from MCO to OKW
-Check in, get situated with everything, and get on a transportation bus
-Ride bus from OKW to Epcot.

I'm guessing 2 hours... does that makes sense??? I know there's a lot of room for error with wait time for buses and such, but I just need a rough estimate right now.

Thanks!

I'd say at least two hours.

Yep will depend absolute quickest I think you could plan on making it from MCO and that would be if you were close to the tram, it had it's doors open, you walked in and it took off. You made it to the DME area quickly, walked right on a bus and it left. You were the first stop from MCO. Still the quickest I could see it being if the Gods were on your side would be just over 1 hour. More realistic would be 80 - 90 minutes, and I did have one that took almost 2 hours from landing to MCO, and nothing really took long, or it didnt seem like it. I was shocked when I looked and it had taken 1:50 from landing to CSR and being checked in at CSR (no line).

Add in about 10-15 min for check in, then 10 minute for a bus, then the ride. I would guess average time would be 2 hours to 2:20. From deplane to resort to a park. Could stretch out to 3 hours if buses didnt co-operate or if you were the last drop off from DME (doubtful for OKW would guess 2nd).

I have had times, from gate to resort, as quick as 55 mins but as long as 90 mins. Most have been right around 70 mins. I would figure on at least 70 mins. Then it could take you about 15-20 mins to get checked in at the resort. Another 10 mins to get to your room, freshen up. Depending on your wait at the bus, you could take 3 mins but as long as 15 mins waiting for the bus to come along. Then 10 mins on the bus.
I would say at least two hours, but most likely a bit longer.
