Any advice that doesn't require buying a new ticket?
Always the risk when you have two tickets. Airlines in general are not very accommodating when something goes wrong and it is not their PNR.

Talking them into flying him directly to MCO is the biggest chance you have. Give it a try, maybe it can still be done. There is no right for your son to get re-directed but maybe someone shows a bit of goodwill.
