(Transportation) Is Oia the same as MCO?

[Miss_Nellie]

There's a car service (Sunray) I want to reserve from MCO to RPR but their site lists "Oia" vs. MCO so I'm not 100% certain that's the same airport. It is though right?

The price seems good and from what I've read here before there haven't been any complaints, right?

OIA (orlando International Airport) is MCO. Sometimes airports have different names than the field. My local airport is Louisville International but the field is SDF (Standiford)

 

[Metro West]

The official airport code is MCO which stands for McCoy Air Force Base (back in the day) but most of us locals simply call it OIA.

Thanks for the confirmation regarding the airport and the reassurances regarding Sunray! They, Sunray, sent me a very nice email confirming my reservation with them too.

I haven't obsessively planned this trip like I would a Disney trip and I almost feel like I'm doing something wrong.

It doesn't seem to me, having never been to Universal however, that you really need to obsess over all the details.
I've got the ...
flight - CMH to / from MCO
room - RPR
tickets - 7 days for $85 from AAA
food - Meal Deal (still have to purchase this)

As for the rides and shows, it doesn't seem like you really need a touring plan. However, please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.

Once again, I really appreciate all the advice I've been given here. Once we get back I'll try posting a TR and maybe some pictures.

You are correct...if you are staying onsite (you mentioned RPR), then you don't have to have a touring plan. Your room key is your Express Pass for the entire trip. Think of it as a permanent FP that you don't have to wait till a certain time to come back and use....trust us...you WILL be spoiled! Because you can do any attraction at your leisure with practically no wait, you "wing it" and do what you feel like...WHEN you feel like!

Once again, I really appreciate all the advice I've been given here. Once we get back I'll try posting a TR and maybe some pictures.

We always look forward to TR...especially pictures (cuz they're easy to read ) ...and we always love to hear a 'Disney' persons reaction to their first time at UO. I will advise you, however, to go to UO with an open mind and try NOT to compare it to WDW.

Have a great trip....we look forward to your TR!
