Hello there!
I'm looking forward to my first trip to Disney World in 30 years in about a month (mid November).
In excitement I reserved a seat at Hoop Dee Doo Revue on the night of my arrival before learning how involved travel might be.
My flight is supposed to arrive in Orlando at ~6pm. My reservation is for 8:30pm.
Perhaps naively I assumed 2.5 hours was more than enough to take a Magical Express bus to Pop Century, check in, then take a bus to the Magic Kingdom area, then take the ferry/boat to the theater in Fort Wilderness.
I've since learned through a many helpful facebook group participants that I am cutting it very close, or this is impossible.
I refuse to believe that I can't get to this show on time. If I have to take a Lyft from the airport DIRECTLY to Fort Wilderness, I will.
What should I do? Ideally, I'd like to get on the ME bus after getting off my plane. If that is just unreasonable please let me know. Can you kind of gauge whether you just missed the last bus and/or if the next bus is about to arrive?
I heard that if I take a Lyft or Bus to HDDR it will take me to the general transportation drop off for Fort Wilderness where I'll have to then get on an internal FW shuttle to get to the theater. The ferry/boat from <somewhere> takes me right close to the theater directly, though? Which is a better option for someone like me trying to get there hot off an airplane?
I think I can check in to Pop Century online, or I may have already done so? Skipping that stop will certainly make it easier to make the show on time. I'm already reserved on the ME bus and have gotten luggage tags for it with my resort name printed on them. If I put them on my bags, but jump on a Lyft to get to the show quicker, will my bags wind up at Pop Century?
Sorry for the wall of text. Thanks for reading.
