Will these times work for arrival and ADR?

[RosyMom]

This is my first time going to Disney as an adult with my own family!

Can you please let me know if this is cutting it too close? We arrive at the Orlando airport at 6:17pm on Monday, Sept 2. We have an ADR for Chef Mickey's at 9:05pm. We are staying at Port Orleans Riverside.

Can we check into our hotel and make it on time? What if we just went right to the Contemporary? Do I need to cancel?

Thanks from this newbie

In a perfect world, you MIGHT make it. But that's a perfect world.

Assume 10 minutes to get off the plane 6:20

Assume about 15 minutes to get to DME. 6:35

Assume 15 minutes to wait for a DME bus. 6:50

Assume 50 minutes to 1 hour to ride to POR 7:50

Assume 20 minutes to check in 8:10

Assume 15 minute wait for a bus 8:25

Assume 15 minute bus ride to MK 8:40

Assume 10 minute walk to CR 8:50

If ALL of these go exactly as timed, you CAN make it.

However, if it takes longer to get off the plane, if it takes longer for a bus to come, if it takes longer for a bus ride due to an accident... you'll miss your reservation.

Do yourself a favor and reschedule for another night.

How are you getting to POR from the airport? Are you picking up your luggage? I doubt the check in line will be too long at that time of night but you never know. You always have the option of taking a cab from POR to Contemporary which will save you some time.
