What time of day do you usually arrive your DVC resort? Do you drive/fly in early a.m

[edk35]

Just curious. WE have come in the night before.....so maybe we arrive resort to check in at 8 or 8:30. The earliest we have ever arrived is just after lunch. We tend to take mid morning flights our or late afternoon flights out.

 

[Safari Queen]

We generally arrive about noon. We try and get the first flight out in the morning.

 

[inmyis]

We fly SWA from Manchester to Orlando and almost always take the first direct flight in the morning. We are in the air before 7am and usually land around 10am, hit the Magical Express and are checking in about 11 am. Sometimes we get our room right away and others we find out our room assignment later. We head to the parks and come back to chill at home in the late afternoon.

Around mid day. We have done both (drive/fly). It just depends.

 

[Deb & Bill]

We drive and we plan it so we arrive around noon or a little before on the second day.

 

[Harley-Mouse]

We fly all other trip and get in by noon. This time we will drive and we will get ther by 10:00 am just use the pool if room is not ready.

 

[donmil723]

We have arrived at all times of the day-morning, noon, and night. I really prefer to take the first flight of the day and arrive at the resort in late morning.

 

[cncDisney4]

We also take the first direct flight thru SWA and generally get to the resort around 3PM. However, for our trip in May we arrive on a Saturday and that's an earlier flight so we'll get there around noon ... sooner to see Mickey!

We take the first non stop out of Chicago usually on a Sunday Morning. The car rental is set up so you just kind of take your car and run - no lines. Then we make a stop at Albertson's for tequila and Super Target for sugar free margarita mix and groceries, and then on home. We have always been able to have our room right away, except once at AKV 1BR, this past December 2.

 

[LocustPoint]

I've arrived at all times of the day. For my trip next week I won't be arriving at the resort until 10PM, my next trip in September I'll be arriving around 10AM. It really depends on how early I am able to leave my job and the day of travel.

Our next two trip due to travel soccer games we won't be leaving MI until 6pm, so we won't be into Orlando until 12am. This sucks but we pay a lot of money for our daughters to play and we hate to see them miss a game. The biggest thing I am excited about is waking up the next morning and the first thing the kids see are the animals on the savanna. We will then leave Friday morning to make it back for the next round of soccer the following weekend.

Generally we arrive fairly early in the morning ~9:00 am to 10:00 am. We like to get the first flight out from Philly. When we drive we pretty much stop overnight at the Georgia/Floriday state line and get an early start the next morning.

 

[alldiz]

1st flight out....I'll be landing in orlando at 9:15...I should be checked
in by 11am. I've had good luck with room readiness.....but that was pre-DVC though....although SSR had a room ready
If room is ready we spend the day at the resort swimming and checking the
place out. If it is not we'll head to a park.

We have usually been able to fly on the first flight out, and that has gotten us into MCO around noon, so it's usually about 1:30 by the time we get to the resort. Next week we were able to get a very early flight, and we will be arriving at MCO at 10:30 am, so we should be able to check in before noon. We usually have to dress more warmly here, so we'll have some cooler clothes handy to change into at the pool building, and then we'll head over to a park until our room is ready. We'll need to do some grocery shopping, but likely not a lot, since we are staying concierge this trip.

 

[tomandrobin]

We are usually on the first or second flight out of BWI. We are normally at the resort between 10 and noon.

We hate wasted days and time! If they had a 4 am flight so I could make rope drop, we would be on it!

 

[castleri]

We were scheduled for the 6:30am flight out of Providence into Tampa but then plans changed so are now on the one that gets into Orlando around 1:30. Could have had the early morning one but decided it was better for whoever takes us to the airport to not have to get us there by 5am. Next trip in Sept hasn't been decided yet but we usually try for the early flights. One Christmas trip we didn't get in until around 4 PM and chose to stay off site checking into our DVC unit the next morning. If it is just the 2 of us we have a different approach to trips than when it included the children and grandchildren who want to get there early and stay until the last possible moment. We are however leaving on the last direct flight back which will get us to Providence about midnight.

 

[n2mm]

Always the first flight out of Dulles. We are always checked in by noon and playing at the parks by 1:00PM.

 

[jjpenguin]

Flying out of Europe we don't have much choice, so we usually get in about 6pm. Last time we stayed the first night at the airport and got to OKW at 10 am.. we were in luck as our room was ready!

 

[wildernessDad]

We also fly out of BWI. We fly out at around 8am and get to the resort around noon.

 

[Parkhopper13]

We always try to get the first flight out in the morning, arrive between 10 - 12 (depending on direct flight) and hit the parks by 2:00 at the latest.
