Ok I think we are going to fly

[twinboyz]

Ok I think we are going to fly with our twin 2.5 yr. old toddlers. Now anybody have any suggestions or experiences on whether to fly in the evening(6-9pm) or during the morning? They usually go to sleep around 8pm...so I'm kind of hoping maybe they will go to sleep. But they might be too excited... I dunno!!!! Help any advice?

My experience is that the best time to fly with toddlers to Orlando is between 11am-3pm. You don't want to go too early with getting to the airport and getting through security. It's best to keep routine that morning as much as possible so as not to start the trip tired. Also, the evening flights can be tricky getting in because you still have to rent a car and check in somewhere. It is possible to do a later flight on the way home if you choose to, but we prefer to stick with mid-day.

ps sorry about the bad advice re: the twins flying free in the last thread. You'd think I would have realized, as I just purchased tickets for my 2.5yo!

I agree, getting to WDW in the morning/early afternoon is good. Our flight in May doesnt leave pittsburgh until 4 which is late for us and esp. if you have a connecting flight and would miss it, its better go to in the morning so you have a better shot at getting on another flight. If you get there early and get checked in you can head to the parks or hang at the hotel or go to DTD where as if you get in later its kind of pointless to head to the parks so your basically left with DTD and the hotel (id rather be at the parks!)

but if you want a morning/afternoon flight i would book asap b/c they tend to fill up and/or are expensive, esp. non stop flights..hope this helps!
