That’s all about to change when the airport’s new Terminal C opens, though. In April 2022, Orlando reporter Greg Angel recently shared a first look at the high-tech new terminal, which is nearing completion.
Angel shared a photo of a press release that reads:
Orlando International Airport’s South Terminal Complex (STC) creates an unforgettable travel experience. Through a combination of passenger-centered designs and state-of-the-art technology systems and enhancements, the STC is built to improve efficiency, uphold passenger safety, and excite the imagination. The first LEED*v4 airport campus, the complex will make MCO — already a world-class, global gateway to the most-visited destination in the U.S. — also one of the most innovative airports in the nation. The new terminal features dozens of technology systems that both support the building and its functionality, while expediting the passenger process.
A big push at MCO is the new luggage system – of which MCO is among the first to have.

In fact, two of the restaurants will already be familiar to anyone who enjoys eating at Disney Springs.
