Airport & Store Hours
Terminals and airsides operate 24 hours a day since flights run around the clock.
Store and restaurant hours generally follow this pattern:
- Most retail shops: 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM
- Grab-and-go/newsstands (Eola Market, Hudson News): several locations open 24 hours
- Sit-down restaurants: typically 5:00 AM – last flight of the night
- Duty-free stores: hours track international flight schedules
Because MCO splits pre-security landside shops from post-security airside shops, always check which side of security a specific store sits on before planning your visit.

Duty-Free Shopping at MCO
International travelers can shop duty-free at The Duty Free Store locations in Airside 1 and Airside 3, and at 3Sixty Duty Free in Terminal C. These stores typically carry spirits, fragrances, and cosmetics, with access generally tied to international boarding passes or flight itineraries.
Getting Around MCO
Airsides 1–4 are reached from the main terminal by separate automated people mover (APM) trains from either the West security checkpoint (Airsides 1 and 2) or the East security checkpoint (Airsides 3 and 4). Terminal C is a separate building connected by the Terminal Link people mover. Since Airside 1 and Airside 2 use different trains from the same checkpoint, confirm your specific airside before boarding.
Tips for Shopping and Dining at MCO
Match Your Airside to Your Gate Before Boarding the Train
Airsides 1 and 2 share a West checkpoint but use separate trains. Double-checking your gate number avoids ending up on the wrong airside entirely.
Visit Terminal C for the Widest Food Variety
Palm Court in Terminal C has the newest and most diverse dining lineup at MCO. It’s worth the extra walk if you have time before an international or Terminal C flight.
Buy Theme Park Souvenirs Before Security
Universal and SeaWorld stores exist in both the Main Terminal and Terminal C. Shopping landside means you can browse without worrying about a security line afterward.
Check Lounge Locations by Gate Range
The Club MCO, Admiral’s Club, United Club, and Delta Sky Club are spread across different airsides. Confirming which lounge matches your gate range saves a long walk in the wrong direction.
