O.K., we have 49 days left before we will be sailing the Magic. The last two times we had a return flight I made it for 3.00 p.m. The first time in Feb. of 2000 we returned on Sunday from the ship to the airport. We had plenty of time to spare, DW and DD's shopped while I watched the Daytona qualifying races at the airport bar and kept track of our luggage. The second time was last year and we were supposed to leave our ship and go to the airport on Saturday. That was the cancelled Magic cruise!! So we ended up sailing the Wonder Sunday to Thursday the went back to WDW 'till Saturday, thus leaving from The Dolphin at around 11:30 rather than the port. Sooooo............my question is what is the earliest flight anyone has taken on Saturday after a 7 nighter? My company Christmas party is set for Dec. 6 the date of our return. A 3:00 flight gets me into Chicago around 4:445 with the time change. Luggage pickup and drive back to Northwest Indiana is about 2 1/2 hours. Help!!!
 
Are you flying non-stop, or do you have a connection? This Christmas party senario brings back bad flashbacks. We were coming home from Orlando the first weekend in December for my Christmas party. It had been a beautiful, hot, December week even for Orlando. MCO to Pittsburgh - no problem. PIT to Williamsport - flight cancelled due to snow. Hopefully, the weather doesn't affect your flight like it did ours.

As for early flights. From the Magic we've made an 11:20 am flight.
 
The earliest I have seen posted on here sofar has been 11 am. You do have to give yourself some time(minimum 1 hour) to get from the ship to the airport. Thye havn't invented the transporter yet ;)

If anyone has been sooner, feel free to say so :)
 

In August 03 we had a noon flight and we were at the airport with much time to spare!!!!

Next year I will not be in such a rush to get off the ship!
