I'm trying to plan out our last day and am needing some input. Our plane leaves at ~5:30pm. We are using DME. We won't have park tickets on this day. I was hoping to get to 'Ohana for a late breakfast and then maybe head to Downtown Disney for a bit. I was able to get a ADR at 'Ohana for 11. What time will we need to be back at POR to head to the airport? Will we have enough time to do this??? Also since we won't have park tickets how do we get to 'Ohana??? TIA!!!

DME will pick you up between 2 and 2:30 (probably closer to 2:30). If you get into Ohana right at 11, it would probably be 12-12:30 by the time you're done eating. Then count on 30 min to get to DTD. That's 1:00. You have to allow at least another 30 min for travel back to your resort, so, max, you'd have 15-45 min at DTD depending on when the bus picked you up.

As for how to get to Ohana, you have 2 choices: Taxi or Take a bus to a park and then the monorail/bus to Poly from there.

That's what I was wondering... maybe we'd just take our time at Poly instead. Is there much to do there for non-guests?

Not really, other than look at the decorations and walk along the beach. Those are fun if you enjoy resort looking, but there's nothing to "do" if you're not a guest at that resort.

You can rent boats at the Poly and spend sometime on the lake. We usually rent the little boats over at the Poly for our sons and we have a beverage :marg: on the beach. You could also go resort hopping via the monrail. Stopping at each resort, checking out the public areas, do a little shopping ( I think the shops at the resorts have some nice things you don't necessarily see in the parks). You could even do a monorail loop over to EPCOT and not get off. You can walk to the TTC from the Poly. There is that path with the bricks around Bay Lake it does not go around 100% of the lake because there is a break by the GF for a canal, but in nice weather that could be a nice walk. Great views of the castle and all the resorts.

Don't know if it can be done but you may want to check? I assume you'll have Disney take your luggage to the airport from POR, if so, then could you take DME from Poly? That would same you alot of time.

DME picks you up at the resort that you are checked into...
