MCO to CBR travel time

[UPbeekeeper]

I am trying to estimate how long it will take once my flight lands at MCO to get to the Caribbean Beach Resort using Magical Express. I know there are many unknown factors, such as traffic, glitches at the airport, etc. But if you had to give a ballpark time frame from landing time to resort drop off time, how much time would you allow?

50-90 minutes - from the time you arrive at the Magical Express desk to arrival at your resort

Perfect! Thank you, this helps!

In my experiences with DME, it's been 70-80 minutes from the time I walk off the plane to the time I arrive at the front desk of the resort. (That's assuming I don't make any stops within the airport, and head right for DME)

Thanks, Rob562. I always like to overcompensate when it comes to time, so I think I am going to use 1.5 hours to plan for this part of our trip. I'm just trying to figure out how much time to allow myself when making my dinner reservations for the evening of our arrival. I'd rather be early and wait a bit then having to rush and be late.

It only took me about 45 mins but they stopped at CBR first. I'm not sure if that's a scheduled run or the luck of the draw with the driver.

I'm thinking that if it takes me way less time then I am anticipating, I can most certainly use the extra time for downtime activities, like wandering around and exploring the resort, or a drink at the pool. I usually don't allow myself much downtime on my WDW vacations...I'm one of those diehards that feels like they have to squeeze every possible minute into being Rambo of the theme parks. It would be nice to take advantage of some slow, leisurely time "IF" I can grab it.

This will be my first time staying on Disney property and I have so many newbie questions, even though I've been to WDW more times than I can count. It's a fun new adventure for me.
