RCC in MCO did not open at 5:45am
Hello, I had an early flight on Monday out of MCO (at 6:25am). I know that the website indicates that the RCC opens at 5:45am. I can tell you that I (and some other members) waited until 6am and the club did not have a sign to be open anytime soon (the lights inside were still off with no human presence that could be noticed inside). I know i was planning to grab some coffee and maybe some juice which i ended up buying from the shop across from the RCC and then i head to my flight. I am not sure if I should complain but at least the RCC website (and the sign at the door of this specific RCC) should state that they don't open at 5:45am (and show when they actually open).

In general, MCO is a poor excuse for an airport and they will operate by their own rules whenever they can.

Some times the folks at Taco Bell don't open the restaurant until 11:20am.

I am surprised that they were not open at 5:45. I commonly take the 7am MCO-DEN, and usually get to the airport at 5:30, giving me time to avoid the Chertoff Radiation Units, as well as the grope, and also letting me dodge the hoards of kettles at the checkpoint...
Anyway, did you ask any of the gate agents before boarding your flight? Unless the hours changed, and .bomb was not updated, which could be possible, I suppose they could have been understaffed. However, CO has also placed some of their staff in the club, so I would think that they could have opened..

The RCC @ MCO often opens after 6:00pm. When queried, they shrug their shoulders; MCO is my least favorite RCC...and domestic airport
