MCO Arrival question

[GibboFLA]

Hi we have been flying indirect for several years, but this year we are going direct Gatwick - Orlando.

How long does it take from landing to getting out of the building? I remember the double baggage drop and the big immigration hall, but if somebody could give me a bit of a "walkthrough" it would be appreciated.

We should be landing at 15:35, hopefully we won't be the last plane of the day!

Thanks, Gibbo.

We have done it in less than an hour but other times it has taken close to two hours! The queuing system has changed now so that at immigration its one big queue like a post office, some people think this is quicker than it used to be. Once you pass through immigration you collect your luggage, you don't have to do the double drop now and if you can manage to carry the luggage on the monorail by yourselves its a lot quicker to do so. When you get to the main terminal there are loads of sign telling which floor you will need depending on whether you are getting a car etc.

A couple of years ago some kind person did a step by step photo guide of what to do and where to go....hopefully someone will know where it is...i am sure it was on here somewhere!

It is still the best airport guide I have ever used.

In 2009 we were on DME in under an hour from getting off the plane :

Last year our plane was late and arrived with various planes from South America - it took almost 2.5 hours before we got on DME
