95 minutes lay over in Detroit, is that enough time

As the thread says, we are on the Delta flight from Amsterdam to Detroit then onto Orlando but we only have 95 minutes lay over, has anyone been through Detroit lately and has some info.
Thanks in advance

We went through in April and if we were still booked on original flight 90 mins would not have been long enough. It took us 2 hours just to get through immigration etc

We did it in less in 2014, not deliberately our first flight was delayed. We were Delta on both which helped a lot.

We did it in February with a 1hr 50 minute layover with time to spare. The immigration hall has loads of machines and it was a quick process for us. We came in at the same time as a flight from China, but none of the passengers could use the automated process. The terminal is a long thin one with a speedy internal monorail.

Last November our 1hr 50mins layover was cut to 70 mins, so we had a bit of a panic. No need as we landed 20 mins earlier and we flew through. Even if we hadn't landed early we would have still got through comfortably. We landed in Detroit at 1.30, immigration hall was quiet.

We are doing the same route, delta keep email me with changes to flight times which is good, just worried as we are 3a 2c 6&7 and haven't been to the USA in a long time so can't use the kiosks.

We've never used the kiosks either so I'll look into that, we are sat at the back of the plane so will be last off, just hope that we land a bit early.
Trying not to panic about it.

We are due to land at 4.10 pm so it might be a lot busier then

We landed at that time, our original flight was due out from Detroit to mco at approx 5.30 ish but we got an email to say we were moved to the 8.15 pm flight. I would be happier being moved to that later flight unfortunately though Orlando was experiencing bad weather so flights there were all cancelled but that's a different story. I would not be happy with 95 mins.

We've still got 7 weeks to wait so fingers crossed that we get moved to a later flight.
