how much time from airport to hotel

I am not sure if I should make a reservation for the first night. How much time does it normally take from the airport to the hotel if you are using Quiksilver for your transportion. We won't be stopping for groceries.
We land at 4pm

Thanks for any help,

You are still talking at least an hour from getting off the plane. You still have to wait for your luggage (though the driver will move them for you), and WDW is roughly 25-35 minutes away depending on the hotel.

The quickest we've done it is an hour and 20 minutes - although we have to clear customs and immigration. On internal flights, from landing to getting through the airport, waiting for luggage, that's probably still been about half an hour and then half an hour to get to Disney, so about an hour sounds right to me. You would still get the evening on Disney property, so I'd go for staying the night there.

I'm not sure I would make a restaurant reservation for that evening. The hour or so to the hotel is a good estimate, but flights could be delayed and other things could change the time as well. Also, checking in and settling in your room will take a little time. If it were me, I would just go with the flow that evening. Grab a meal at the food court or a counter serve in a park and enjoy the evening without the stress of trying to make it to an ADR.

My flights are usually a little late so I never make a reservation for the first evening if we have an afternoon flight. It usually takes us about an hour and a half to actually get to the hotel.

We land at 3:45. And we 're using DME. I think we'd get to our resort by 5:30ish at the latest. Well, I hope anyway! We aren't making any ADR's for that night, plan on eating either at resort, or park. AK has EMH that night, so prob. Flame Tree
