Nope. Closest would be the Marriott lounge so if I want a quick breakfast I can grab one and make that 12-minute trek a 15-minute trek. :-)

Really, it's so super simple. Best kept secret.

I can do a 15-minute room-to-United Club at SNA from the Irvine Marriott... including dropping off the rental car. To your point - it's not that difficult at less-busy airports.

It's all a matter of timing, I suppose. I've had a 40+ minute wait in the CLEAR lane at MCO. It's just not laid out well IMO... and yes, we get caught up in the Disney traffic. My wife's a bit of a Disney nut and so we tend to take long weekends there. Right in the thick of the families-with-small-children-under-the-age-of-2. Which means strollers, diaper bags and all the other accoutrements. I do NOT miss those days!
