The reality

MCO during March spring break breaks the airport's choke points: rideshare pickup, parking, security at peak, and the rental car center.

The playbook

  1. Avoid Saturdays and Sundays at peak times if at all flexible.
  2. Use the MCO Airliner / Brightline if your party is small — far less stressful than rideshare.
  3. Arrive 3 hours early for any flight before noon during peak weeks.
  4. Use the South Terminal (Terminal C) if your airline allows — newer, less crowded.
  5. Book check-in spots in advance for car rental.
