Leaving MCO on Nov 20th ?

[Mouse511]

Hi fellow DVC members - I have a quick question - we are planning on heading down to WDW from Nov 13th - 20th - but I noticed that the 20th is predicted to be a 10 on the crowd scale.

How bad will MCO be for our return trip home ?

Will it be packed beyond belief ?? Or will we be good because we are outgoing instead of incoming ?

One thing that we are already planning on doing is taking the early flight out - 10:30am.

Or should we leave a day early and come back on Friday the 19th ?

Or change our week all together - and go down from Nov 6th - 13th.

Thoughts ?

I'd stick with what you have scheduled and show up at the airport a couple of hours before your flight. I think you'll be fine.

Saturday before Thanksgiving is seldom anywhere near a "10" on the crowd scale at the parks so I do not know the basis for that. For getting out, Orlando is never the quickest airport for getting through lines and can be "crowded" any day. If you get there two hours before flight time, you should be fine.

We are arriving on November 20th for a ten day trip The first 6 days in a Grand Villa at AKV Regardless of the crowd level we are counting down the minutes!

I was on the Theme Park board, talking about Thanksgiving(we'll be down for our 5th trip this year) and someone was posting that they already have all of T-giving week listed as 10's.

But then again this was the same system that had the 2 Easter weeks this year listed as 7-8 until about 6 weeks prior and then boosted them to 10's. . Massive panic from newbie Easter visitors, "we would never have decided to go if it was a 10!"

We come in on Friday, and the Saturday in question is our 1st park day. We've done both MK and Epcot on those days and no way they could be 10's.

We'll be checking into a SSR GV on 11/19 for the week.

I've read before about crowd estimates, where does this info come from? Is there a site to look them up?

We were just deciding yesterday between March 12-20 or March 19-27 next year and my DH asked me which would be more crowded. I didn't have a clue.
