Three hours is a good benchmark for gate to front desk, but it can vary. Then you have a monorail ride and boat ride to get to Fort Wilderness, a little walk–and they like you to check in 30 minutes before. So you are indeed tight.
Because of that, I’d advise not using Magical Express on your trip down, but rather cabbing from MCO to the Polynesian. You can still use ME on your trip back to the airport…

Love the site. Best by far anywhere. One quick question. I have looked thru the Disney info for 14 Dining Plans….are the Downtown restaurants going to be included?? I have noticed that they are not listed as they were last year. Thanks!! Chris
