Tips for Dining at Orlando Airport
Plan the food break accordingly to make airport dining easier, particularly during busy travel periods:
-
Some departure gate areas do not have restaurants. Choose a restaurant near the departure gate to avoid unnecessary walking.
-
Many restaurants are inside secure departure areas. Check MCO security wait times while having food.
-
Allow enough time for security checks, boarding, and walking back to the gate.
-
Some restaurants close early or adjust their schedules according to flight activity. Check opening hours.
-
Check restaurant menus for vegetarian, vegan, or allergy-friendly choices.
MCO restaurants are located in the shared A/B building, separate gate areas, and Terminal C. The Level 3 food court serves the public A/B area, Palm Court holds many Terminal C choices, and the Hyatt adds dining inside the main terminal building. Check restaurant locations, opening hours, and departure gates before arrival to plan meals and avoid unnecessary delays.
