Getting off the Ship

I had a question about getting off the ship. We're heading back to the WDW Resort after our cruise in November. I assume you can catch a bus back to the resort. Do any of you know how long it takes to get back to WDW? We're looking at staying in the Wilderness Lodge. I booked the hotel on my own after the cruise.
I'd like to know if we get back in time to visit the parks with two small kids.

Welcome to PassPorter!

You'll need to reserve a bus ride. Call DCL or your travel agent (if you used a travel agent).

You'll be off the ship at no later than 9:30am, and at Walt Disney World about an hour after that. You'll have plenty of time to enjoy the parks that day.

This is what we did - DCL reservation separate from our AKL reservation. We arranged for the DCL transport (paid, not Magical Express) from MCO to the Port and then from Port to Resort. All we had to do was make sure they knew that - it was reflected in our online reservation once we reserved it.

We then arranged for Magical Express (free with WDW resort stay) directly with our hotel reservation for our return to MCO from AKL. They sent us all of the normal paperwork, we just didn't use the beginning stuff (the luggage tags, etc).

We travelled from the ship to Wildnerness Lodge, it took about 90 mins. We stopped at three other resorts before we got to WL about 9.15am.

This is exactly what I'm doing too. My online ressie shows the airport to port, and port to resort transfers. Using DME back to the airport.
