    You can call the resort before your stay. I have reserved about 60 days out and the last time we reserved the day of the ride at the resort.

    If you are going during a busy time I would call ahead to ensure you have a spot reserved. I think they start at about 7 pm.

    They will leave from the POR resort behind the lobby. From there they will either take you through the POR resort or the POFQ. The ride is about 30 to 45 min long.

    Hope this helps...
    I read on the port orleans website that it was just a 25 minute ride, so I hope you are right and they are wrong, 45 minutes would be better to me. And they said they start at 6:00pm.

    Since they only do evening rides, looking at my scheduele, looks like I would only have time to do a 6:00 ride before we head to our Ohana reservation at 8:05. What do you think? Should I do it right before Ohana?

    When we did the carriage ride it was 25 mins so you should have no problem getting to MK and jump on resort monorail to Poly. in 1.5 hrs

    I can't comment on the timing, because I'm the type of person that no matter which way I decide, will be wrong.

    As for the experience, we did it in 2010, and were lucky enough to leave just before sunset, and it was getting dark when we got back. It was totally worth it.
