I'm heading out on a 3 night cruise on the Dream Labor Day weekend. Southwest has a return flight at 11:45...would this be too early of a flight for Debarkation day?
You should be fine as long as you get off the ship in a timely manner. The main problem at the moment are the security lines at MCO. Maybe it will be fixed by the time of your cruise.
TSA Pre will get you in the express line but it will still be a long one. I don’t think you necessarily need to do Express walk-off or give up on using the DCL shuttle. They’ll get you there in time.Thanks for the info everyone! I have TSA pre so hopefully security lines at mco aren't the issue.

I've been going through MCO since like 1999. They have ALWAYS been a mess. This is not something new.
The effect of having multiple theme parks in your area.....
Get Pre-Check.

Yeah, I have PreCheck and for some reason (my guess is because it theoretically could be a huge selling point) a LOT of people seem to get it randomly out of MCO, so you STILL end up with clueless people in the line. In Feb there was a couple who had randomly gotten it and were CLUELESS about what to do - the kind of clueless that makes me want to ask them "And how exactly did you get down here???" because despite all their stuff from all the different theme parks, they have ZERO idea what to do at airport security. Held up the PreCheck line for a good 15 minutes.
Granted that was mild compared to the giant cluster the regular line was as per usual, but still. When you're expecting PreCheck to be a breeze, pretty annoying.
I just have to say you are such a rebel! I thought I was pushing it with my early 11 o'clock hour, but now I'm considering even earlier flights. Hahahahahaha.So true. We had a 10:40 am flight out of MCO after our Fantasy...
See my post just above yours. It helps...but it's no guarantee of getting through smoothly.
