An upgraded parking experience is now available at MCO, allowing you to reserve your parking in advance. Book at least 24h prior to your arrival, use a QR code to enter and exit the garage, and travel with ease. Great news for passengers at Orlando international Airport as you can guarantee a parking spot through a new Reserve Parking program that MCO has just rolled out. As MCO continues to welcome record numbers of travelers, finding a parking space has increasingly become a problem, especially as more Central Florida residents are using the airport. Based on survey data, local residents make up 30% of airport passengers, a jump from 20% a decade ago. This increase has emphasized the need for more parking. To help ease the parking problems at MCO, airport bosses opened three new surface lots to respond to parking needs in December. In total, the airport has more than 2,000 new parking spaces compared to last year. The reserve parking program works by allowing passengers to log in to Reserved Parking at MCO or use the MCO mobile app in advance of their arrival to the airport, punch in their vehicle information, make a payment and receive a QR code for easy access to Level 4 of Parking Garage C. Currently the program is only operational in Garage C on Level 4. Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis for approximately 715 spots during the rollout of this program. The cost is $32 per day. If the program is successful, there are plans to replicate it in other parking facilities at the airport, including Terminal Top parking, North Park Place, South Park Place and West Park Place economy parking lots. Those wishing to reserve a space will be able to do so up to 365 days in advance of their arrival at MCO. All reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance and anyone cancelling their reservation less than 24 hours in advance will be subject to a 50% forfeiture fee. The program is open to all travelers, including Brightline train passengers. There are no designated electric vehicle spaces in the program at this time.

The Walt Disney World Railroad is missing once of its classic locomotives, as the Roy O. Disney chugs off to Pennsylvania for an extensive refurbishment. Listen to the clamor of the engine, the chug of the wheels and the call of the whistle as you travel aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad  on relaxing 20-minute, 1.5-mile scenic round-trip tour of the Magic Kingdom. The Walt Disney World Railroad consists of 4 vintage narrow-gauge steam trains—originally built between 1916 and 1928. For now one of the three engines is missing, as The Roy O. Disney Number 4 locomotive has chugged off to Pennsylvania where it will undergo a multi-year refurbishment in Strasburg Railroad. The vintage locomotive left Walt Disney World recently, and is expected to undergoes an extensive refurbishment that will last last two years.. The Roy O. Disney is the last of the four Walt Disney World vintage locomotives to undergo an extensive refurbishment. All 4 historic steam locomotives were originally built by Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The development of the Walt Disney World Railroad from the late 1960s to its opening in 1971 was overseen by Roger E. Broggie, who previously supervised the building of the Disneyland Railroad in Disneyland in Anaheim, California. From his experience with the railroad at Disneyland, Broggie determined that it was better to use existing steam locomotives, rather than building them entirely from scratch like the Disneyland Railroad's first two locomotives. In 1969, Broggie, determined that four locomotives built by Baldwin Locomotive Works could potentially be salvaged, along with a fifth locomotive built by Pittsburgh Locomotive and Car Works. Broggie paid a total of US$32,750 for all five locomotives. The four Baldwin locomotives were all fully restores, but the Pittsburgh Locomotive could not be restored. Some of its parts were salvaged to help restore the four Baldwin locomotives, including its smokestack, which was fitted to the No. 4 locomotive, Roy O Disney. Since 2010, overhauling services have taken place at the Strasburg Rail Road in Pennsylvania on three out of the four Disney Locomotives: No. 1 Walter E. Disney, No 2. Lilly Belle, and No. 3 Roger E. Broggie. No 4, the Roy O. Disney the last of the four Walt Disney World locomotives to undergo an extensive refurbishment, and we can't wait to see number 4 back on the tracks in Magic Kingdom.

Award-winning film and television producer, Jerry Bruckheimer will give the command to fire engines for twice-around-the-clock sports car spectacle. Cameras will be rolling as famed film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer will deliver the most famous words in motorsports to kick off the 62nd running of the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA, as Daytona International Speedway today announced the grand marshal for the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season opener. This isn’t Bruckheimer’s first visit to The World Center of Racing, as he filmed portions of the 1990 movie “Days of Thunder” at the track during that year’s DAYTONA 500. Bruckheimer’s film catalog ranges from titles such as “Con Air,” “Black Hawk Down,” and “Armageddon,” in addition to the “Top Gun,” “National Treasure,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and “Bad Boys” franchises. On the small screen, he won 10 Primetime Emmy Awards for “The Amazing Race,” and produced series such as “CSI: Miami,” “Without a Trace,” and “Cold Case.” “Jerry Bruckheimer has produced some of the most entertaining and action-packed movies and shows of the past several decades,” said Daytona International Speedway President Frank Kelleher. “Whether he featured fast cars, high-flying jets, or frantic foot races, his work reflects the energy we’ll see in the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA, making him the perfect grand marshal for this year’s race.” Bruckheimer’s latest project is an as-yet untitled Formula One racing feature for Apple Original Films from director Joseph Kosinski, Plan B Entertainment, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, seven-time Formula One champion Sir Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films banner, and starring Brad Pitt. “Daytona International Speedway is an iconic venue and it’s going to be an honor to give the command for the Rolex 24 At DAYTONA,” said Bruckheimer. “I’ve been here for the biggest NASCAR race and now I can’t wait to experience one of the most prestigious sports car races in the world.” The competition starts on Thursday, Jan. 25 and continuing through the wave of the checkered flag on Sunday, Jan. 28. The 62nd running of the twice-around-the-clock Rolex 24 At DAYTONA takes the green flag at 1:40 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 27.
