I'm showing about 8 flights per day going to Orlando from EWR. Right now, they are WIDE OPEN. (Tue oct 28) I'd suspect they should be good at least till Thanksgiving. Just go through security, and go right to the gate, and sit down. Don't even go to the ticket counter. They'll call your name after everyone is loaded up. If you miss it by any chance because they filled up, they'll automatically roll you over to the next flight. You may then go up there and verify if they in fact will roll you over. (They usually do automatically.) Don't give up because that is what other's hope for in your shoes. Stay there till you get on or you get bumped absolutely.
