Our flight is scheduled to arrive at MCO at 3:01, and we are taking ME to the Pop. We booked CP for 5:45, the last seating of the night due to MVMCP, and we are attending MVMCP that night. We are also planning on taking the bus to the MK. Do you think we will have a fair chance of mak :confused3 ing it on time? I know that there is always a chance of delays...but we're still hoping this works out. What do you think?
 
I don't think you can make it. You will be in late afternoon traffic from the airport, Check in can take 30 minutes, getting to MK from POP can take 45 minutes. etc. If you have one hiccup in the timing you won't make it. Why not just hit the food court at Pop before the party.
 
You'll be cutting it close for sure but there is always a chance of making it. Literally you will just have to drop your things in your room, take a pee break and get back on the bus to MK. (or do none of that, get straight on the bus after checking in and put all your stuff in a locker once you reach MK!)

We usually arrive by 10:00am at the airport and are at the resort by 11:00-11:30 using ME. Checked in by 12:00-12:30. Have a magical day!
 
I arrived at 6pm, with an 8:45 ADR at CG on Christmas night. I arrived at the resort around 7:45, checked in quickly, got my tickets, and called for a cab. Just made it in time! So my suggestion is to set aside cab money, skip going to the room, let bell services hold your bags until you're back from the party, and take a cab straight to the park.
 

I thought ME put your bags in your room for you. No need to even go to the room.

Either way, you're cutting it close, you're supposed to be at ADR's 15 minutes before the time.

IMHO, CP isn't worth it anyway.
 
I don't think that cabs go to the bus stop area at MK. I think they take you to the MK parking lot near the poly and you'd have to monorail or ferry over to MK.

So if you go that route, take a cab to the contemporary and walk over from there.

Good luck. One thing I have noticed, is most airlines get you into MCO prior to your designated arrrival time. Guess they want to keep that on time deliery stats in good standing.
