Yikes! Is 11 a.m. flight doable now?!?!

[inkkognito]

Can anyone tell me if disembarkation is still taking a REALLY long time?
I dug out the paperwork for our 3/13 cruise to make our Happy Limo ressie tonight, and I noticed that I booked our return flight for 11 a.m.!!! Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but on our 2/6 cruise (the first one with the Orange alert), disembarkation took forever. Thankfully, our flight was noonish so it wasn't a problem. I think a lot of the delay was caused by people not having their two forms of ID ready. Can anyone tell me the current situation? Should I panic? Thankfully ATA has a few flights to Chicago, so in the worst case we can probably go standby, but with all the new rules they might try to sock us with a fee. I'm hoping that maybe things aren't as bad now so we'll have half a chance of making it off the ship quickly...we set our towncar pickup for 8 a.m.

All of the flights we have had on our cruises have left 10:50 - 11AM - we end up getting to the terminal by DCL bus around 9AM then have a nice wait where we can shop at the Disney stores.
The first time this happened, it was a flight change and we got a bit nervous but after that, it just worked out so we kept the time slot.

We travel with minimum carry on and have all ID forms out and available. AND it seems we must look suspicious because one of us is always asked to "step over here" for the scan!
