Dining Buffer Windows and Airport Return Recommendations

Review these timing recommendations when planning a pre-flight or layover dining excursion outside the airport perimeter:

Allowing Sufficient Transit and Dining Buffers

If you leave Orlando Airport during an extended layover to dine at Pointe Orlando, allow at least a 4-hour window between flights. This accommodates the 20-minute drive each way, 75 minutes for a seated meal and drinks, and the standard 90-minute cushion needed to clear MCO security checkpoints and ride the people mover train.

Authentic In-Terminal Dining Alternatives

For passengers with tighter timelines who prefer to remain inside the terminal building, full-service pre-security dining is available in the North Terminal atrium at McCoy’s Bar & Grill and Hemingway’s inside the Hyatt Regency, as well as multiple post-security restaurants located across Concourses 1 through 4 and Terminal C.
