How long?

disneyguy · 10-29-2004

How long would you say that it would take to get from plane door to room door? We will be using Quicksilver, I would guestimate 30 minutes to get from plane door to car door, but around 715PM how long should I plan for check-in at POFQ, and how long to make it to the CR? AAAAhhhh too many variables!!!

Disneyguy -

I have used a towncar for my last two trips and I always give myself an hour and a half to get there after collecting my luggage etc. It has taken as little as 45 min for everything, but I just assume the worse and go with 1 hour and a half. I feel rushed if I don't allow enough time for something. I hate feeling rushed. Don't schedule anything in that time frame. You will have to wait for your luggage, drive there and then go through check-in. Why put yourself through that. You're on vacation.

Yeah, I am thinking about doing a late PS for Chef Mickey's that night. It is such a great way to kick a trip off!

**Dana** · 10-29-2004

Yes, it's the perfect way to start off if you don't plan on hitting a park. Just be sure to give yourself enough time to get settled.

Well our flight arrives at 615, and I plan on getting a 9PM PS at Chef Mickey's. I am just worried about getting there, I can see it now. DM will be " I am not paying for a cab when we have Disney transportation.", and then we will end up being too late.

I have a better idea. Why don't you keep my driver waiting till you check-in, and have him take you to your dinner??? Did you schedule a grocery stop? If not, I'd trade it for the 30 minutes wait to take you to the Contemporary...

What do you think?? Can you check-in and get ready in 30?

Let me know...

Regards,

Gregory Nicolas.

Yes, this is an idea too. This is a serious budget trip. So part of that money saving plan was to make a grocery stop, but maybe we could bring pop tarts, muffins, etc. from home. I am pretty sure that if I could check-in in 20 minutes at Pop Cnetury, then I have a feeling POFQ can handle it. I would just leave our stuff at guest relations. Could we possibly pay for the extra quick ride to the Contemporary?

Yes, LOL... I cannot believe more people didn't know. I am planning this trip for my family. I get really into it, and tend to over-plan. My mom knows a lot about Disney, but not nearly as much as me. It makes it really interesting sometimes...

I will do that when we get ready to book the towncar, should be very soon.

**cinderbella** · 10-30-2004

thats so funny! And smart....i bet if i would have planned more trips when I was in high school for my family we would have gone more often, the way that you carry yourself (on the internet) makes you seem very mature!

Thanks, and congradulations on your 100th post!

EmpressJenny · 10-30-2004

Disneyguy you should drive if you want to save money. Pete and I save hundreds by driving. We have a gas-efficient car, though, and if you stop in Santee, SC at the Hampton Inn, it's a great, safe community, nice room, and it's only $70 for the two of us (weekend rate, too!).

The other plus about driving is that you go straight from 95 to I 4 and then right to your resort. No waiting, no baggage claim, no delays at the airport. You go on your own schedule.
