The minimalist design and warm colors symbolize a welcoming atmosphere and emphasize Orlando’s role as a top travel destination.

Enhanced Travel Planning Tools
A highlight of the website upgrade is the “Trip Planner” tool, which helps users arrange transportation from MCO to Disney World. Offering insights into shuttle services, rental cars, and ride-sharing options, this tool simplifies airport-to-hotel logistics, helping families move smoothly from the airport to Disney accommodations without added stress.
Real-Time Updates
Travelers can access real-time information on security wait times and flight statuses through both the website and app, helping families optimize their schedules. This feature reflects MCO’s commitment to accommodating the fast-paced nature of travel, particularly for families eager to dive into their Disney adventure.
Mobile App Features for Disney Travelers
Designed with Disney travelers in mind, the mobile app includes interactive maps with turn-by-turn navigation, helping families locate dining areas, shops, and essential services throughout MCO. This feature helps alleviate the stress of navigating a busy airport, particularly for those with children or lots of luggage.

Kids’ Zone Locator
The app also includes a “Kids’ Zone” locator, directing parents to designated play areas. This gives children a chance to unwind before their trip to Disney, adding an extra layer of convenience for families and making the airport experience enjoyable for everyone.
Integrated Transportation for Disney World Visitors
In-App Ride Booking
The app’s transportation booking feature is particularly valuable for Disney guests, allowing them to book rides directly to Disney properties or reserve shuttle services with ease. This enhancement fills the gap left by Disney’s retired Magical Express service, ensuring families have smooth, reliable options for getting to their resorts.
Rental Car and Ride-Sharing Access
For added convenience, the app also provides access to rental car and ride-sharing services, consolidating transportation options in one platform. This makes managing logistics easier and more time-efficient, offering families a comprehensive solution for travel arrangements.
