Do you think we could catch a 11:15AM Flight??

[Hockeychic]

Now I know they don't recommend anything before noon....but

I would really like to catch this flight, we thought if we had a car service pick us up and we kept our baggage so we didn't have to wait and find it we might make it....what do you all think??

What is your experience??

Thanks

You probably would make it, but why bring on stress at the end of a great cruise?? I see your location is Canada, which may also have an impact on you pulling this off, since you probably have to have check in at the counter instead of being able to use a kiosk to check in??

We usually catch an 11:30 flight and have always had time to spare. We just disembark as soon as the doors open and catch the Disney bus to the airport.I think last time we were there before 9:30

If you do not have breakfast in the dining room you can go up for the buffet which is very limited on your debarkment day, but my IL's did this last year and were off around 7:30 am. Grant it we had no problems with customs.

I am not sure - but good luck!

we made an 11:30 flight last year with time to spare.

Grabbed a quick breakfast in Topsiders and left the ship around 7:45...found our luggage and made it through customs to the car that was waiting for us by 8:10. We were at the airport by 9:00 and at the gate by 9:30.

Of course we don't have kids so that makes a difference. And we were flying Southwest, which from my experience has quicker check-in.

Good luck!

We barely made a 12:35 flight ourselves. We were off the ship by 9:15 (after 45 minutes in line, they opened the doors at 8 am), but the 90 minute wait to get through security at the airport is what almost doomed us.

Thanks everyone

We made an 11:30 with plenty of time to spare. Too much actually as we got to watch lots of people with DCL tags on their suitcases deplaning and looking excited... we hated them! Seriously, it will depend on the time of year as far as crowds at the airport. We got off the ship at 8 and our limo was waiting. We were at the airport before 9, checked in and through security by 9:30.

Good luck!

We didn't fly out until 3:00, but a luggage mix up, some lost princess accessories, and a bathroom trip held us from leaving. When we did get to the airport finally around 10:30 or something, there was a 45 minute line to clear security! If the ship gets held up in customs, if there has been an accident on the freeway, or if the security line is too long, you may miss your plane.

Thank you all.

We have decided to catch the later flight....why take a chance.

Thanks again for your insite.
