Question about MCO and restaurant locations

[Maggie The Cat]

I want to buy a bottle of diet coke after we get off the plane. The layout of MCO - do we purchase it before boarding the tram to the luggage? Or are there some after we get luggage? I'd rather get it after we pick up luggage but I can't recall where all the shops/restaurants are.

Thank you. Leaving Tuesday, very excited.

There are beverage & snack machines located on level 1 (ground transportation) in both Terminal A & B.

After exiting the tram, there will be a number of shops and the food court before you head downstairs to baggage claim.

You can purchase it before getting on the tram or off there is no rule regarding buy liquids once you are past security check points. Since you are get off the plane you will not go through security. There are several Hudson News stands at the airport.

Plenty of places before and after you take the APM. Luggage claim is primaily on level 2. I don't remember anything on that level. Maybe a vending machine?

Edited to add I think Starbucks is on level 2.

Vending machines are available on Level 1, where you get rental cars, taxis and busses, only Starbucks on Level 2 where baggage claim is and only on the A side. Lots of places to stop before you get to the APM, after the APM, it's either a Starbucks or you have to go into the food court.

Once you get to baggage claim, there will be no more shops. There MAY be vending machines down there. I'd just buy it in the gate area right after you get off the plane.

Or, is there a reason why you don't just get the free diet coke during the in flight beverage service? You can ask for the whole can and ask them not to open it.

There are plenty of shops and vending machines before and after security. The best time would be after riding the tram but before heading down the escalators to baggage claim.

I could do that. A bottle is easier though when handling luggage.

Actually I forget we are ubering and not taking ME this time. I always forget to get something to drink before we board the ME and then we are on it for a long time and I'm always thirsty! I probably don't even need to buy anything this time.

Thank you everyone!

OP wants a bottle of diet coke. I didn’t know the water fountains at MCO dispense soda.

Starbucks won’t help. They don’t sell Diet Coke.
