Disney springs from okw on arrival?
I’m on a late flight into mco from Glasgow next June. Due to land at 5.20pm. All other times we’ve arrived about 3pm which is so much better. Anyway... we will be getting the magical express to okw. If all goes well and no delays I’m hoping to arrive and be checked in for about 7.30? Is this realistic? So me and the kids thought about going over to Disney springs for a quick service dinner. Do you guys think this will be doable?
We usually stay in a villa and head to Walmart after dumping bags. Then collect pizza from cicis on way back. This will be our first onsite stay. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I think it's more likely that you will be checking in about 8.30 rather than 7.30, but I have only done DME once so I'm no expert. We landed at 2.40 last month, were through immigration in less than 10 minutes and rented a car, going straight to the garage and it still took us 2 hours from landing to arriving at RPR. So definitely more realistic to allow 3 hours. Especially as, once checked in, you still need to get to your room, with your luggage and then get back to Hospitality House (for the boat) or to the bus stop. The boat to Disney Springs is a lovely way to travel there. But, either way, expect to be eating nearer 9 o'clock.

7.30 is hopeful if you zip through immigration and the magic express is truly magical.
I would reckon more likely checking in before 9pm. You get to DS around 9.30pm. I would just eat at OKW Good's Food to Go or Olivia's then bed. |

Thanks Wilma bride. This is very helpful. Just trying to wrap my head around timings. I suppose the best thing would be to play it by ear and see how we feel once we are checked in and find our room. Thinking of getting a garden grocer order so if needs be we can just grab a snack and head to bed.

I also think 8.30 at resort more realistic. Magical express takes time.
I think it may be a bit ambitious to do Disney Springs with how late you are getting in but play it by ear. |

What day of week do you arrive? Bear in mind Disney Springs can be horribly busy especially at weekend.
We did it once on arrival night when we were at OKW and tbh it was a step too far. |

 . It’s looking more likely that we will just stay put.
