I would do Epcot on Monday even with the earlier close.
That’s the one thing I hate about flying SW. there’s no way to check how full the flight is without calling
Lol I just tried that and both ways had seats for 8 left in all categories. But omg the price!!! I paid around 105 each way and now it’s 426 there and 240 back!
but we ALL need a break from each other 
it’s been quite a year...hoping to use this trip as a chance to see how things are with COVID before we bring our kids around large crowds.
Watch any flight time changes like a hawk! I bought my SW tickets at $100 each way and now they are like $400 each way. I get an email in my inbox saying that they moved me from a 9am flight (perfect--gets is in at lunch with not too early a start) to 6am one (ewwwwww) "due to flight schedule changes". I take a peek any my original flight is still available, same flight number, same exact departure and arrival time. Just 4x the price. They clearly wanted to boot my family of 5 off of it to sell to another 5 customers at a better price. So I called and politely asked to switch back to my original flight at no cost. Of course they had to do so right away once I asked.Lol I just tried that and both ways had seats for 8 left in all categories. But omg the price!!!

I would say just be careful. The flight may be oversold. When I went to Disney for Spring Break a few Years ago our flight was oversold. So, they were asking people to give up their seats for a price. I prebought our seat selection, however, those who did not had to see if someone would give up their seat. It was so over sold the airline was giving 1500 per seat for people to switch their flights. We considered it but due to it being Spring Break the next flight they would have put us on has 3 stops and would have gotten us to Disney 8 hours later. We had seats because we paid the extra money at booking and had reserved a designated seat.
True, but then as you say they should offer some compensation to switch me to another flight, not just move me to a less convenient flight with no compensation like they did. Plus the flight is still available to book on the website.
Airlines will keep selling over sold flights. They hope not everyone shows up. Because of the price increase on your flight I just have a hunch it may be sold out or selling out. Also, airlines in my experience don't offer compensation until the day of at the gate. I really hope your case is different. I just wanted to share my experience just in case.
BOG to EP would stress me out personally. I'd pick to be in one spot.
I take your point but we can live with that. I think we would rather be bumped to a much later flight and get there late than have to leave so early. A 3am wakeup = extremely crabby kiddos on the flight.
I’ve never had a short meal at BOG. There is often a wait to be seated, especially with later reservations where people who had earlier reservations linger to enjoy the atmosphere. Usually dinner there takes two hours or more from the initial reservation time.
That sounds awful. If airlines change your flight by more than a couple of hours, usually they have to provide a refund upon request in the U.S. you could call and ask if there is a different airline you would rather buy tickets on instead.
