I've got two questions, assuming the Mapquest directions are good (I'll try to copy and paste at the end) will two hours be more than enough on a Saturday to insure we'll get to the airport 2 hours ahead of time? And second, I remember checking in at Christmas Eve at Southwest Airlines and it was a mess. It took an hour and a half to get through the check in line and, if we didn't have kids and weren't taken pity on by the security people, we would have missed our flight, despite being there three hours in advance. Will 2 hours prior be enough? I'm planning on printing boarding passes before we leave and we're only doing carry on, so its only security we'll have to go through. I have no problems hanging out at the airport for awhile, since the kidlets will be home with Grandma. Of course, if I can convince DH to stay an extra hour or so at Disneyland, that would be good too. Thanks Everybody!

Traffic can be horrible! We recently flew Alaska Airlines and went into Orange (John Wayne) Airport and it was great. They also required a 2 hour check in prior to our flight. Plus, while we were there, a flight was cancelled to another destination. Yikes! So I would plan accordingly. Have fun and good luck!! ºoº
