November 2020 has really only just started to be released for sale.

VS does not commit to release reward seats at any paticular time. Front line call staff have no influence over this.

So it's just a case of regular checking

Reward seats to MCO have never been overly easy to come by, though I think availability is better now than it ever has been.
I agree with tontybear about checking regularly - people have been know to check daily, and even several times a day.

You should also have to have contingency plans for possible scenarios.
You are specific that you are looking for PE3 seats, so what if one or two are released - do you bag them or wait for three to be available?
What if a suitable outbound date becomes available, but not the return, do you book and hope, or wait for the perfect storm of six seats?
Personally I doubt that three outbound and three inbound will appear simultaneously, but it is many years since I flew to Orlando, and am happy to be corrected if my advice is out of date.
Contingencies to consider if only one appears, are booking Y seats (if available) and hope for others to be released later or flying indirect - getting your three PE returns to a destination where they are bountiful (New York for example) and then getting an internal flight to Orlando.

Good luck

Nick

My last two visits rewards were only possible indirect. Also for 29th Oct out and 18th Nov back. In to JFK and back via Boston. That is UCS
