ฝัง

- Since Terminal C opened there have been many complaints saying it opened too early. They have had publicized issues with baggage systems, lack of shops open, lack of rental car availability and complaints on the lack of mobility options.
As we are dropping off No1 daughter here today we decided to look around and see the current status on some of those complaints. We also give you some top tips when dropping off, picking up, departing or arriving at the airport to make your trip easier.

Excellent information on the airport. It sure helped me a lot so thank you very much for this vlog.
Glad it was useful Leslie
Always geab a ticket because Epass Sunpass isn't always reliable when you come back! A lot of times when you exit the airport you can get stuck!!
Thank you for all the information! This year will be my first time arriving/departing out of this terminal and it's great to see where i can get a lyft and where i can claim my bags too. Appreciate the very helpful tips :D
Glad it was helpful!
So… I like the lounge there, it was very nice. The gates are good, nice and big. My biggest complaint was when we landed, our bags took 90 minutes to come out and leaving, because of the long walk, the crew got to the gate late so we were late departing. I think they’ll iron out the kinks. I do like the terminal overall.
Great video. Terminal C is too big and not handicap friendly, you need roller skates to get from the parking lot to the terminal. Forget the free parking time of 20 minutes, it will take you longer to walk from the parking lot to the terminal one way. Thank God we like to arrive at least 3 hours before departure time. I wish I had seen this video before taking my mother to that terminal two days ago to avoid the headache. Unfortunately, JetBlue is our primary carrier and Terminal C will be the departure and arrival terminal. Thanks.
Sorry you had all those hastles, Gabriela
Came back Monday with ba. Nightmare 15 minute walk to bag claim, uphill! Luckily as green card holders went through c channel, but tourist coming through d channel must have taken at least 2 hours. Only 1 place to get food airside [shake shack].
Only highlight was ant and dec were on out flight!
Hopefully they get more food places soon, blows my mind they did not include moving walkways in the design
My main problem with Terminal C is, it is too clinical looking, spacious and modern design, but nothing to indicate you are in Orlando!. This is the number one holiday destination in the world for families, and they arrive here to a bland airport which could be anywhere. It needs some pizazz, something to project the colours and wildlife of central Florida, plus much more to showcase Disney and Universal. Its a bit of a let down after Terminals A and B. Tampa have done wonders with their new flamingo sculpture. I dislike Terminal C so much. The powers in charge need to make it impressive for all the little kiddies who excitedly arrive in Orlando for the first time! 😒
I love this informative video, very well done for explaining so well how to navigate this Terminal which is so badly designed.
I get you we flew through the airport recently. Vlog coming soon
Guys thanks for the shows - just wanted to check, if you know, Does Terminal C have the Visitor Toll Pass booth in it or do you need to travel to terminal A for that ?
Only from A , I filmed a vlog on that coming out in a few weeks
I just came home from Orlando. When I took the shuttle bus from terminal c to b, the bus was on the same level as the baggage claim. I did not need to go down to level 1
Good to know
That was a really useful vlog for anyone travelling into or out of terminal C!!!
Thanks Nevil
Another great video! Thanks Bazzas. Best to avoid BA and Aer Lingus!
Well depending on price it may be worth it , but be aware what awaits for you when you arrive
*edit
I think Alamo offer collection now from C so all good :)
Great news
Thank Your the great information to terminal C.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks much for this video
My pleasure
As you say some moving walkways would be a great addition to this building for sure and rental car pick-up and drop-off must be coming and hopefully soon. Happy to say it won't affect us as we're dyed in the wool Virgins🙂
Still blows my mind they did not put the walkways in as part of the design
@@ThemeParkBazza I totally agree
A vert useful vlog Bazzas, thanks for taking the time to do it for us all.
🖤
Thank you , you flying into MCO next trip ?
@@ThemeParkBazza Yes, we are my friend 🖤
Terminal is the worst Terminal. I don’t know what MCO was thinking. I live here. The walking is outrageous., and if you’re need assistance with the blue shuttle you’re be waiting for hours.
Does not seem well planned
A good reason to use Virgin as still uses the old terminal.
Claim baggage upstairs and then haul it all down to ground transportation? Ugh. Hard pass!
(Great video tho -- not your fault MCO has dodgy planners!)
They did start with a clean piece of paper for this one , so I am surprised about a few of the things. Especially the walkways
We flew into Terminal C on February 2. Still not able to rent a car from Alamo in Terminal C. Had to take a shuttle bus to Terminal B. But the bus now picks up outside the baggage claim area on Level 6. My first impression: Beautiful building, but not functionally designed at all. Lots of walking, lots of escalator trips. The biggest positives: Plenty of shops and places to eat post-security, lots of check-in kiosks at JetBlue.
Sounds an accurate review of TC
Not heard good things about the new terminal.We always fly into mco, but last year we flew into Melbourne and it was such a good experience..We have an autistic son so and the staff here couldn't have been more helpful and of the plane and in the car in 45 mins
We like Melbourne, nice staff, more relaxed airport
Thanks for the briefing! BTW, I like your "Thunderbirds" T shirt. Cheers from MLB.
Thank you
Thanks for all the tips Bazza. Our turn for terminal C end of November. Hopefully it’ll be a lot more on point by then 😊
It should be , but they can’t magically add moving walkways unfortunately
Guess you didn’t come an International flight. No elevators to get to Customs level, only a series of 3 ramps with no moving sideways. Even the wheel chair attendants have trouble getting up these ramps.
We did not, but we have heard it's an uphill hike once you get off the plane
Its a great looking terminal, nice and clean, not much personality though and not many places to buy food as you pointed out
Hopefully, they will address the mobility issues aoon
Great vlog guys… cheeky Starbucks on arrival is always nice 😎
Yes good to know it was there , you will need it after that walk :-)
The family and I will be flying in to Terminal C with BA in May. First trip back to Orlando since 2017. Will be sad not to see the giant US flag and all the theme park stores in Terminals A & B 😞
Well you can always take to tram over to A&B to get that experience
Arrived on Tuesday last week, was a huge hike to immigration from the BA plane, the. Again to the car hire! Will definitely factor in the next flight BA or Virgin
I am told it’s all uphill as well James
Hello, thanks for the tour. Wondering if you had notice disability/wheelchair availability upon arrival to the entrance areas?
You normally h e to contact the airport and airline to prebook disability support upon arrival to the airport . They will provide a wheelchair and a team member to get you through the airport
Did this walk in November,after 9 hour flight not great ,there were loads of complaints about the lack help for disabled guests
Just blows my mind the lack of moving walkways Glyn
I am so glad I didn't book for BA flight it looks terrible with very little open. Great vlog thank you. Great vlog 😀 x
Hopefully it improves Sara, but I can see how they improve all the walking people have to do
Thank you both for the great video!!! We fly over in May over to terminal c and wouldn’t of had a clue if it wasn’t for your video. Mears Connect and Sunshine Flyer apparently onto pick up at Terminal , so we have to long walk to do to get over there!!! Thank you both
Glad it was helpful Louise
Hey Barry - How do you feel about Tesla’s 20% price cuts?
I am happy, I have consistently said EVs are too expensive, and the prices need to come down. Stop making them luxury cars and make them for the masses.
Thanx for showing this, will be sticking to A and B, as you say long ways to walk with luggage to tram or shuttles...
Currently a hike until they get rental cars, but that won’t cure the No moving walkways issue
Thank you. Actually very useful. Coming down in a month through terminal C and renting a car (not from Sixt). Its nice to know what to expect and how much time it may take. Also the drive to the terminal when returning so not to be confused helps a lot. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
After some research I see Virgin are not moving into here, due to the Delta connection.
Correct Delta and Virgin are staying in B
So you can drop your hire car off but not pick one up from c is that right. I am in full on planning mode today and trying to decided if its worth hiring a car. I will need to have wheelchair assistance have you heard any feedback on how efficient this is from C. I love this type of vlog as it helps me " see" what I will be met with when I land.
At the moment, you can drop off Cars, but Sixxt is the only company allowing you to pick up from Terminal C
Cheers , great info thanks 😁🇦🇺🙋♀️
Glad it was useful
With 4 adults and 2 children having to get over to terminal a or b to pick up the car looks a nightmare.
Yep young kids and anyone who has mobility issues will have a challenge
Excellent vlog really helpful. Thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful Janet
Interesting vlog, is terminal C going to come into more effect as time goes on for the brits? Keep safe Andy and Vonnie
Yes Andrew I am sure they will learn and make changes, but they can’t easily add moving walkways in
Very useful information, thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful!
So weird, this all used to be cattle pasture, all of St. Cloud was rural until Walt Disney came to town. Tell everyone to go to Daytona and cocoa, let’s keep the local beach super duper secret lol (NSB).
I watched a documentary on the area when Walt Disney came into the area showing before and the impact it had
@@ThemeParkBazza great movie about the poor who live in the margins of society around Disney th-cam.com/video/WwQ-NH1rRT4/w-d-xo.html
Very handy to know. Trainers required and be fit 😄
You will get your steps in Gillian
Hi we arrived on 2nd January 2023 we arrived at terminal C with BA.We had a car booking with budget car hire and as we came out from arrivals we checked in with budget & Avis and we collected our hire car. From terminal C .
That’s great , as you saw from the vlogs their desks were empty and the sign told people to make their way to A and B ( that was filmed Dec 31st)
Yes I deffo agree long terminal to walk round
Great vlog. It looks like you need to be an athlete to get around.
You certainly get your steps in Donna
if your not flying can you still go in omc and eat before tsa
Only at the places I showed in the vlog at arrivals and departures
Hi guys great video .Where would u suggest we pull in to wait for our family we will be driving two rental cars leaving terminal c (if available at time of our travel) heading to kissimmee.? We want to follow each other so looking for somewhere to wait for the other party to catch up .😊
I would wait on the side of the exit road as you leave C and head to the main road. Heading South to Kissimmee there is nowhere to pull over until you hit the 417
Thanks so much for quick reply .Yes I noticed not many places to pull in .many thanks again BTW love your new renovations videos too !
First time into "C" this June..... hopefully more rental companies (especially Alamo) will have moved to the "C" garage by the time we travel !
Hopefully Paul !
@@ThemeParkBazza booked with Sixt... no sign of any other rentals at C
Great video. Keep posting 😊!
Thank you, we will
We’re going with Aer Lingus in March so if you hear car rental updates , it would be great if you let us know. It was so handy heading straight to car rental while family did baggage pick up but that doesn’t look possible now
Will do, we are flying Virgin next so will be from the other terminal
Me too. I’m going with Azul in March. My first time at terminal C. I heard that MCO is providing a bus at level 6 (arrivals) direct to rental companies at terminals A/B, so people dont need to walk that much to get the tram or the bus mentioned on level 1, that also goes to those terminals. Thanks for the video!
Very interesting and informative
Thank you Lynn
Omg it was a shambles in October with no one knowing what was happening and wasting your time with a bus transfer to get the car hire in the other terminals. Added over an hour to the time😢
It’s obvious they opened before they were ready
@@ThemeParkBazza 100%
Mmmmm not sure what I think about TC . Flying into C at end of Feb looks like a bit of a mare 🙃
I honestly it feels like they opened it too early, hopefully the push on with more food and car rental offerings
@@ThemeParkBazza they better I don't fancy a 4 mile hike to car rental after a 9 hr flight lol
I flew into terminal C in October from UK the walk from the plane to baggage hall was almost all uphill and a long walk. The baggage took 40 minutes to arrive then kept getting stuck then the walk you have shown to get the tram to terminal B to get mears coach was exhausting and the walk through the car park to get to it in the heat hauling suitcases was crazy. If you have small children or as you say mobility problems it is not easy. Also the departure lounge had no restaurant just starbucks and a small pizza place. Unless BA flights are a lot cheaper I will book virgin for my next visit as they still go into terminal B.
Thanks for your vlog as things do not seem any better.
Hopefully it improves soon, I am just shocked how it ended up like this as a brand new terminal
@@ThemeParkBazza The place looks "soulless".
There was more shops open and places to eat in December, very expensive tho, terminal seems too big, and as for baggage we waited over an hour!!
Are the two baggage claim areas linked?
In C yes, they are either side of the same building
@@ThemeParkBazza thank you
I found Terminal C so terrible I will never fly into it again. 4 hours from leaving the plane to get to our villa. Its a joke and should never have been opened.
What was the delay, getting your bags ?
@@ThemeParkBazza Getting the bags - about and hour, then immigration- about 30 mins, then the bus ride - about 30 mins, then queuing for a car (about 30 mins) which was rubbish and we had to change.(this took about 30 mins) and then the drive which took ages as I was shattered it was about 9pm us time so I went cautious.
The last thing you want after a long travel day
@@ThemeParkBazza True, thank you for doing a video like this. If I was travelling soon it would help as I am a planner and I think the lack of real direction etc threw me off. Also I forgot to mention the 10 minute walk up hill, so being cramped in sore legs due to the altitude and then an crazy walk didn't help. At least we managed to sleep in till a good time the next day lol

@@anon2602 And it appears that there is no seating provided on these long treks. Perhaps they can save up for a chair or two
Very helpful vlog... we are flying into terminal c on Aer Lingus having always flown Virgin into the other terminal. We usually jump in a Mears Cab from the other terminal to our accommodation. Can you get a Mears cab from C or do we have to get over to the other terminal. Thanks Charlotte xx
You can get cabs at C at the exit from baggage claim
@@ThemeParkBazza thank you 😊 x
We flew in November from Ireland on Aerligus and arrived 1 hour early but gate wasn't ready so stuck on plane for an hour then took 1.5 hours for luggage. Eventually got luggage so had the Uber app on phone and we ordered an Uber which came pretty quick. Just to note that the WiFi signal was not great outside on my phone so had the family keep a watch for the car. Ubers are great to get around. Also good value for international drive is the iride tickets but the frequency of the buses can be hit or miss. Still love Orlando so enjoy
That's not on waiting an hour for a gate
@@ThemeParkBazza Hi Barry, it was indeed. Normally takes 9.5 hours to get there but got there over an hour early so nothing was ready. 1 whole hour on the runway. Few young babies on the flight pretty tired and cranky and oh boy did they let us know hahaha wasn't much communication from pilot only that they were waiting to hear from the tower on when we could park. Was a very long day but had a great time in Orlando as always 👌
I too was there in October like many others it was a nightmare - With four young children the walk just to get the suitcases was long enough - Their new baggage machine kept breaking down and getting stuck no staff around its like a ghost town, Eventually someone showed up and they had to switch baggage machines which ment loading/unloading it all again 2hrs later we finally started moving again - Its then an absolute mission walking to the shuttle bus over to the hirecars in the other terminal - A really unpleasant experience with poor signage and not enough staff to help, Felt like Tom Hanks in the Terminal movie stuck without a clue where to go.
Sorry you had such a bad experience Paul. I am hearing rumblings that they are looking how to add moving walkways but we shall see.
