Big airport, make sure you leave enough time between flights to get where you need to go.

If you are a coffee drinker like myself, this is one of the most friendlier starbucks (JetBlue Terminal)

Not too big, very organized and nice but with few VIP lounges that in holidays are all full (be ready for the wait list)

Welcome to MCO (pronounced MO-KO)! Enjoy the greater Orlando area and all it has to offer! If you don't enjoy tourists, I suggest you head right back to Des Moines...

Be careful with the security check point, 99% of the time is crazy crowded so take your time and be patient

Really gorgeous, clean, and organized airport. Fast and friendly staff and security. Lots of places to eat and shop to kill time. However I feel flights are always delayed here.

If you're renting a car National, Alamo, or Enterprise, pick a car from any of the three. They are all owned by the same company, and are interchangeable. Just let a attendant know what you're doing.

You take a mono rail from all gates to the main terminal. Pick up your bags and ground transportation. Disney World is about a 45 minute drive.

The atrium area in front of the TSA screening for gates 70 - 129 is a great place to sit if you're waiting to pick up friends or family.

You need internal bus transport from Terminal C to A or B. But you do not need one if you are in either A or B. More shops and food selections are in Terminal A/B.

Security lines can be long. Plan ahead or get Global Entry/TSA Pre-check and Clear and speed right through.

Very well run airport. Even if the lines look long they move pretty quickly.

If flying out of terminal B, I recommend Nature's Table for breakfast. Just had a delicious mediterranean breakfast burrito.
Debbie BeemanFebruary 14, 2016
Very hi-tech. Love the wifi & power outlets everywhere! Be prepared this is a very busy high traffic airport!

Preferred flyer status + new TSA Pre/ line make for quicker security check in early morning. No need to remove laptops + shoes at Pre/line. Still allow for 30 min in line.
Anna ChristineDecember 26, 2011
Make a reservation with an outside parking service-especially around Holiday Season. We are locals, and thought 'it will be fine. Those places are huge.' NO. Struck out. Now have to pay $17/day @MCO.

Center top parking is the way to go. Head up the A or B side parking areas, then go to the top and look for Hyatt and center top. Much easier!

It's like a mall, with a TSA line. One of the bars near gate 121-129 runs a $3 shot special with purchase of a beer. Yuengling with a Glenlivet 12!

There's self check-in kiosks that handle a lot of airlines right at the main entrance

Very comfortable airport. Not a bad one to get stuck in. Just remember to get food before the food court closes if you have to camp out overnight :-)
Linda BrammerApril 19, 2014
Solo and duo travelers can snag exit row seats due to large families reluctant to split up and requirement to be older than 15 to perform those exit row duties.

Fair amount of selection for restaurants. Be sure to get here extra early if you have a flight during the day. Security gets longer and longer as the day goes on. Crappy WiFi.
Waylon ChavezNovember 15, 2012
Very busy airport. Make sure you get here at least 1.5 hours ahead of your flight to make sure you get through security in time.
Greg CorraNovember 13, 2018
I’ve flown out airports around the world and MCO’s security line is among the worst designed hands down. Confusing, inefficient, and crowded.

When exiting, it’s unclear, but if you don’t have checked luggage, it doesn’t matter if you go to Terminal A or Terminal B.

Very nice airport. A variety of things to see and do before your flight😄.

The have a pre-check station on the second floor by the Delta office. Make sure you have your passport, $85, and have preregistered online

A world class airport without the fuss. It has the laid back style of a tropical island airport.
ElisaOctober 8, 2017
Security line move slow even in tsa pre. need to take shuttle to/from your actual gate which is a hassle. The gates themselves are quite nice with outlets, usb plugs, and cup holders at each chair.

I love the MCO airport great food selection, decor amd friendly employees

Just tell all those people to get a real job and do away with security altogether and leave us alone, this is America. Homeland Security & TSA is a figment of George "paranoid" Bush's imagination. Jk
Ethan SpenceMay 26, 2014
if u are looking for food in terminal A, I recommend eating before security. Terminal A has a mexican place, a burger joint, a italian place, and ice cream
SpicyNovember 18, 2014
Security isn't as bad as everyone says. As long as you use common sense (arrive early, especially on holidays and weekends, get your liquid out, etc.) you'll be just fine.
Natalie BoothJuly 15, 2013
Don't be alarmed if you have to deal with customs in Orlando. Very friendly. You'll have to exit customs, take tram to main terminal, exit, and then go through security again to connect to your gate.

Following a bloody war between human and alligators, a truce was forged allowing the airport to be built, but with a monorail that crosses the alligator territory.

Had a cockroach the size of a grown man's thumb fly (yes FLY) across the room and land on my shirt so... Keep your eyes open and your guard up 🙅‍♂️

If you are dropping off someone in the military all airlines will give you a security pass so you can walk them to the gate free of charge. Just have them show their military ID when checking in.

It's a nice airport to fly into. While it's expansive, it doesn't feel "too large." Easily navigable. The Disney products here are expensive, though, but convenient for those last-minute gifts.
Mike DaughertyAugust 28, 2011
As of august 2011, they are doing a pilot TSA program for kids under 12. Part of the program allows these kids to keep their shoes on for security screening. Look for the signs to avoid the hassle.

If you're in the 70 gates (Delta), the Cibo Express Gourmet Market lives up to its name and has the best selection of snacks and food while you wait.

Wi-fi is hit and miss. For best wi-fi go to the circular waiting area just outside the gates near some of the shops and where you can see the Hyatt hotel rooms this has best wi-fi service, couldn't g

Military members, check out the USO! You may even leave your bag there if you'll be here for awhile.

Make sure and arrange a car pick up ahead of time if you are arriving for a convention...the que can be looooong! 😕🇺🇸

Easiest and quickest airport security line I've ever been in-very impressed! And you can keep your shoes on now!
Dan RitchieOctober 6, 2012
We came in the middle of the day on a weekend and from start to finish it took us less than an hour to return the rental car, check in, go through security, and just find out way around. Yay!
