Orlando

• Follow signs to passport control immediately on landing
• Have onward boarding pass and hotel/address ready for questions
• Global Entry kiosks and APC available for eligible travellers in Airside 4 arrivals. US citizens can use Mobile Passport Control to skip the main queue. Peak-hour waits during spring break and winter holidays can exceed 60 min.

Ride-share or taxi is the practical option, about $35–50 to downtown Orlando in 20 min without traffic. Lynx bus 11 runs to downtown in roughly 50 min for $2. Brightline from MCO Station connects to Miami, not to downtown Orlando.

• Leave enough buffer - trains run to a schedule and can be delayed
• Buy your return ticket in advance if possible
• Set an alarm 70 min before your departure gate closes

• Re-entry security at MCO typically takes 10-20 min
• Check your gate - it may have changed while you were out
• Liquids bought in the city cannot pass security - finish or bin them
