Orlando International Airport's Experience MCO Visitor Pass now allows entry from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The airport's Experience MCO Visitor Pass, which lets people without a plane ticket visit the post-security side of the terminals, now runs a longer entry window: "Entry is restricted to only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m." Visitors must still leave by 8:00 p.m.

What changed

• The entry window. The airport's program page and FAQ now give 6:00 a.m. through 6:00 p.m. When the airport relaunched the program on Dec. 16, 2025, "Timeslots are available between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m." WDW News Today put it this way: the airport "has doubled the available window from six hours to twelve."
• Unchanged: "Experience MCO Visitor Pass guests are required to exit all terminals by 8:00 p.m." The 2025 release set the same 8:00 p.m. exit.

When

• In effect now. The airport's program page and FAQ give no start date, and no airport release on the change was found. The last one read on the program is the relaunch of Dec. 16, 2025.
• The airport's FAQ with the new hours carries "9.29.26" in its file name.
• The earliest report we found, on Oct. 4, 2026 (MickeyBlog), said approved visitors "can now enter the post-security terminals between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m."

Where

Orlando International Airport. The FAQ says a pass can be used "to enter Terminals A, B or C". A pass is for one terminal: it "cannot be used to access another passenger terminal".

What it means if you live here

• Applying: "You can apply up to seven days in advance, however, you cannot apply on the same day of the visit." Passes are limited: "The Experience MCO Visitor Pass availability is limited and granted on a first-come, first served basis, with all access subject to TSA approval."
• Pick the terminal when you apply, since a pass does not carry over to another terminal.
• On the day: "bring your digital Experience MCO Visitor Pass and your TSA approved identification (passport or REAL ID)". "Printed Experience MCO Visitor Passes are not accepted."
• Screening: "TSA PreCheck, CLEAR programs or the MCO Reserve program, cannot be used with the Experience MCO Visitor Pass". "Visitor Pass guests are limited to (1) personal item".
• No coming and going: "The Experience MCO Visitor Pass does not allow exit and re-entry."
