what time to head for mco?

For a 1:50 pm flight back home-what time would you leave Disney? We will have a rental car to drop off at the airport.
I was thinking 11:00am…

If you're flying directly back to the 'peg, that might be cutting it close, as you'll have to do the whole international check in thing, won't you? I seem to recall the getting there and getting inside/rid of the car took the best part of an hour, which leaves less than 2 to get through...aren't they still recommending more for international check in? I'm hoping we can cut it a bit finer in Feb, as we'll be flying only as far as NH and driving across the border, and we can get boarding passes and check our luggage at the resort. What airline are you using? Can you get your boarding passes before you go to the airport? With Air Canada to Toronto then Halifax, we couldn't do anything until we got to the airport.

I agree JoAnne

For our early afternoon flights with AC in the past (clearing Customs in YYZ), we would head for the airport, ie, leaving WDW property at 9:00 or 9:30am.

Traffic can be really bad on the way to the airport, too.

And, if you're flying AC (I'm not sure about WestJet), there's usually only one or two United agents at the check-in desk...and then there's the security line-up, et, etc

For our 8:30 am flight last winter - Tuesday in late Feb - we were at the airport shortly before 5am...and still barely made it.

Like you JoAnne, we're hoping flying with JetBlue will be a little more civilised!! LOL

HTH!!
