Experience MCO is back and non-travelers at Orlando International Airport can shop and dine beyond security

World-class shopping and dining are once again available to non-travelers at Orlando International Airport.

Experience MCO is back - and it’s better than ever! World-class shopping and dining are once again available to non-travelers at Orlando International Airport (MCO), thanks to the return of the popular Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program, which offers even more to explore.

Right now, guests can apply to visit the post-security areas of Terminal C as well as Terminals A & B, a first for the program.

In the wake of the initial popularity of Experience MCO, the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) paused the program to assess the operational feasibility and staffing.

With the relaunch, the guest privilege will be extended to all terminals. MCO is now accepting applications and interested parties may apply here: https://flymco.com/experience-mco-visitor-pass-program/

“Orlando International Airport is pleased to welcome the return of non-ticketed guests to eat at our restaurants, explore our retail concessions, or simply spend quality time with a traveling loved one,” GOAA CEO Lance Lyttle said. “We thank our partners with the Transportation Security Administration for their assistance with the program’s re-implementation now in place across our entire campus.”

Experience MCO Visitor Pass Guests may only enter the post-security area during their approved timeslot. Timeslots are available between 10 am and 4 pm. Guests may apply up to seven days in advance and must exit the post-security area by 8 pm.

Pass availability is limited. Guests are required to provide their personal information exactly as it appears on their TSA-approved identification (passport or REAL ID).

Applications will be processed at midnight on the day of the requested visit. Approved guests will need to present both their digital Experience MCO Visitor Pass and their TSA-approved identification to clear the security checkpoint.

Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program guests will be subject to the same security regulations as ticketed passengers and must comply with all TSA screening procedures, including prohibited items and liquids. At this time, Visitor Pass users must use the Standard screening lanes. Expedited screening is not permitted.
