What's the best time to check in POR?

We're flying into Tampa and staying at my parents over night. They are about 40mins from Disney. We plan to leave early in the morning to check into POR. Will it be very busy around 9am Sat. morning?

It's really just hit-or-miss. No matter when you check in, you can pretty much count on about a 15-30 minute wait. If there's less people, then they have less windows open, so it can still take a while. If you see a big bus pulling up - run! That can turn a short line into a long one very quickly.

On a recent trip, we checked into POR on a Thursday around 9:00am. We walked right up to a CM. At that time, there were many windows open. We did notice the cruise ship buses come around 10:00am, but I'm not sure if that is all the time.

There seemed to be a larger line more towards the afternoon, around 3:00 - 4:00.

But like Spartan said, it really is a hit or miss. Good Luck.
