I'm wondering if day of the week matters much. I'm dickering back and forth between a Friday night flight and Saturday afternoon one. Looking for sway one way or the other since the price difference is a wash. Might come down to the rental.

This statement is quite inaccurate in my experience, just in case anyone reading this thread thinks getting a minivan of the EA or ES is a sure thing.

But thanks for continuing this myth because if you want real entertainment arrive at this (or SNA) during the busy seasons for Disney and watch hysteria ensue when the families who believe this show up and won't fit in a car. I have to admit another traveler and I once stood at MCO for about 10 minutes watching the man and his wife have a screaming match over the fact that he reserved the aisle because "you always get an SUV or van" and the fact that they weren't giving to fit into the Sonata. (Wife was right they were never going to fit).

National does not have premium aisles They have a few parking spaces with generally a pathetic selection. Some times the friendly agents will let you go to Alamo,but the last time I was told to go there, the rude agent at Alamo started screaming that I needed "paperwork".

With regards to the 3 cars you listed under "PS", I assume that stands for "Premium Side" is that an exclusive aisle for those with Executive Elite status?
And, are those the rates p/day (at that time) to upgrade available for Executive only or any Emerald elite status?
Thanks in advanced!

Thanks for providing a list of the inventory. This is precisely something I was looking for to get an idea of what I might encounter at MCO. As a perk from my credit card I'd be choosing from the Executive isle so I really hope to have your same luck, and get the Suburban (fingers crossed!)
