Travel time from MCO to Universal Question

[Pyxie]

My flight lands around 4pm and I have a dinner reservation at CityWalk at 5:30. I did not plan it this way, but there are no flights with my airline to reschedule to and I have no control over the dining time either because it is a group event and I am not the organizer. So, I am trying to figure out if this is even possible. My plan is to travel with a backpack only (it's only a weekend trip so I can easily fit everything) and check no bags. I would go straight to arrivals, grab an Uber, and head straight to CityWalk without stopping at the hotel. Is this doable at all or should I prepare myself to miss the dinner?

I understand that if my flight is delayed, I can forget it. I'm talking ideal scenario here.

I think you can. It was only about a 20 min drive. It would be cutting it close if traffic is bad, but I think it's doable

We landed at 9:45 AM and took Uber to Hard Rock Hotel. Photos I took while in line for check in were taken at 11 AM. We could have made it in your timeline but it would have been close. Also would have been worse if there was a line at check in. We had checked bags so that slowed us down some. Since you can go straight to City Walk, I like your odds.

I think you will be fine, barring complications.

I think a lot of flights land earlier than advertised, too.

It will take you about 12 minutes from plane to bus/uber area.

Also depends if you are in the back of the plane or towards the front.

Also you are hitting rush hour which may slow things a little bit.

Why can't you move your dinner reservation back an hour or so?
