Long MCO Layover
Hey all,
My wife and I are travelling to Bogota on Saturday and we have a 6.5 layover in MCO. I was hoping to get some suggestions on how to pass the time. I'm a RCC member but if there is anything around the airport where I could leave for a bit to entertain myself that'd be great.
Thanks in advance!

You could inquire about a day room at the Hyatt which is located right inside the airport. The pool area is quite nice and I could think of worse ways to spend my day.
FWIW - Security can be iffy, so you definitely need to leave yourself ample time to clear it.

MCO is my FAVORITE airport with a ton of shopping, spa services, restaurants a'plenty right inside!
But if you're wanting to leave the confine of the airport, another suggestion could be Downtown Disney, but you wouldn't have all that much time.

I am not sure what the cab fare is, but if you can get a cheap car rental, it could be less than two cab rides. Also, I don't know if there is a cab rank at the mall, you might have to call for a taxi. And finally, with a rental car, you would have somewhere to keep your luggage.
