Magical Express At MCO..

Just a quick question here. All our previous trips have been into Sanford Airport, but this year will be our first at MCO..I've studied the maps of the airport and it sure looks big..( We got lost once at O'Hare airport trying to catch an ongoing flight to LAX.) So my question is..How easy is it to find the Magical Express coach depot.?..Thanks...

It's easy to find. The magical express documents you receive contain a map of the airport to direct you to the magical express from your terminal.

My last trip was in 2011, but I remember the airport is all very well signposted. One useful thing to know in advance is that once you've gone through immigration and collected your luggage you follow the signs and come to some escalators. At this point you can hand over the luggage you've just collected and it will be transported for you whilst you go up the escalators and take a train to the other side of the airport and then follow the signs again to get to another conveyer belt to reclaim your luggage. If you can manage to carry/wheel you suitcases yourselves it's worth doing as it will save some time. You exit into a huge atrium and there are exits all around clearly signposted. I'm sure you won't have any problems. awesome

MCO is much easier to navigate than O'Hare to me, and O'Hare is my home airport!
Signs for Magical Express are very well marked and easy to see. You shouldn't have a problem at all.

Ok guys, apparently I'm oblivious...I've definitely gone down the wring set of escalators not once, but twice! laugh

I agree, very easy. Though I too would suggest not giving up your luggage and having to go over the collect it again, it really is a pita! We just hold onto our luggage now and take it onto the monorail with us.

There are also MANY helpful people at MCO that will point you in the right direction.

I have been to MCO on at least 20 occasions and always end up on the wrong level!
