We have an AA flight leaving MCO on April 15th (Good Friday) at 9:05am. We are not checking any luggage. What time do we need to leave POP to make it to the airport and get through security? Would 6:30am be enough time?
 
You can check the TSA wait time on the my tsa app to help plan accordingly for the day. We have a rental car to gas up and return and we have precheck so we give ourselves a little under 2 hours if no checked bags. We usually get to the gate around 30-40 minutes before takeoff.

I just downloaded the app. Thanks for the recommendation!
 
DH and I arrived at 7 AM for a 9:15 AM flight on January 23 and were shocked that the PreCheck line was 20 minutes long. He showed me a photo of this morning’s PreCheck line, which stretched around the food court. So I’d arrive at least 2 hours early on Easter.

Good to know! Thanks!

Not sure about leaving Pop Century but I would say your ride should be passing the farewell arch (with Mickey and the legend "See ya' real soon" ) before that 6:30, arriving at MCO before 7:05.
