Strange question- is there a place to change inside the port terminal?

[My2litteprincesses]

We are flying in on the morning of the cruise. I am not flying & taking the transfer wearing my swim suit. Last year I packed swim suits in my day bag & changed myself & kids in the tiny bathroom by the Mickey pool. It was crowded & a long line with people doing the same thing as we were. Is there a decent restroom in the port terminal itself that you think one could change in?

There is a restroom. Don't know if it's "decent" or not. Didn't use it.

There are nice restrooms on the 1st floor of the parking garage.

Thank you both! Shmoo you're so funny!

The terminal bathrooms seemed to have a decent number of stalls and were clean. However, I do remember a line

It must depend on when you attempt to use it. There's never been a line when I've used the bathroom in the terminal.

If you wait until you are on the ship, I'd recommend finding a restroom on a deck other than the pool deck to change.

I get not wanting to fly in a swimsuit, but what about changing at the airport? There are some really decent bathrooms at MCO. I personally like the one down the hall past the main Starbucks, passing by the creepy "tourist" statue-in-a-glass-box. That's where I changed after my recent pre-Princess overnight flight. We used the bathrooms at the luggage carousel area for changing after the same overnight flight a month later, pre-cruise. (nervewracking, arriving at MCO the day of a cruise...hope your nerves are up to it!)

I remember the bathrooms in the cruise terminal to be very nice. If you have to wait in line, oh well. It's just for clothes-changing purposes, and you'll be causing an extra holdup in the line soon enough anyway by changing. Might as well wait in one.

You're right - when we finally get to MCO we'll be running to grab the luggage then get to the rental car. So I don't want to add in a wardrobe change for myself & 2 girls.

I changed both of my kids at the port terminal after checked in because we drove all night. It was clean.

Not for nothing, but there are dozens of rest rooms on board. Not just the ones by the pool.

Mco luggage takes a while. You will have plenty time to change if you put your stuff in a carry on. We have waited as long as 30 min for luggage there.
