What Time I Should Make Arrival Day ADR?

[LMO429]

Hello!

We should be landing at MCO (all goes well) at 11:11 a.m...my question is what time should I make a lunch adr near the EPCOT area keeping the following factors in mind...we are taking the ME to the Beach Club hotel and have to check in.

Would 1:30 be a good time? I was thinking about Chefs De France for lunch

Personally, I don't like to make lunch ADR's for arrival day. I'd be stressed and worried about the flight being late, waiting for ME........and so on I do love Les Chefs de France, so I would recommend dinner ADR's and plan to grab a quick CS lunch after you arrive. JMHO

I agree with you but I am going with 6 people so I just wanted to be prepared....maybe we can just walk over to the Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club from what I hear its pretty easy to just walk in and not have to worry about ADRs

Captains Grille would be a good choice, or Beaches & Cream I like to start at Hurrican Hannah's with a nice little umbrella drink to get my vacation started

Hi. Like you, we will also be arriving around 11:15am and will be staying at the Beach Club. I made reservations for the Crystal Palace at 5:00. No matter where we stay, we "have" to go to the Magic Kingdom before any other parks-it's a rule! LOL I'm thinking that by the time we get to the hotel it will be at least after 1pm, and probably later. We can grab a quick snack at Beaches and Cream then head over to the Magic Kingdom. Hopefully we'll be able to catch a ride or two before dinner. Once we've eaten, the night is ours to spend in the park. We always do Future World at Epcot the second day....that's a rule, too! After the parks we like to walk over to the Boardwalk to relax a little. Can't wait--down to 124 days!

I think when I flew last time we arrived around 2 , well the plane arrived then & I had ADR's at 5 & made them.

This time we arrive just before 11 & my ADR is for 5 again so I will have even more time.

I would not make an lunch adr.I arrive at 1100 am too, and my adr is at Cape May at 6:00p. I also made it for a resturant at the resort, and one that I won't be devastated if we miss it.

My wife and I have always arrived at MCO around 11am the past 5 trips. We tried to make a lunch ADR for 1pm once and didn't make it. We were staying at POR and were having lunch at DHS. It was raining in Orlando and the planes were landing a bit late. We always make a dinner ressie instead and grab a real quick lunch at Chic-a-Filet (or whatever it is called) at MCO because we don't have those in Minnesota and they are good to us! We usually eat on the ME bus to the resort.
