Orlando International Airport Adds Two More Prestigious Honors to Its Resume
I don’t know about you, but I would love to arrive at Orlando International Airport.
As someone who has always visited Walt Disney World from across the country, arriving in the Sunshine State and seeing MCO feels like the official start of my vacation. More importantly, arriving at the airport means that days of Disney magic are on the horizon.
Independent of its proximity to all of Central Florida’s tourist destinations, MCO has become renowned for its facilities and customer service.

Over the years, the airport has earned accolades and awards while consistently being ranked among the top travel hubs in the country. Now, MCO is adding even more honors to its resume.
