If you’ve ever flown to the Orlando Airport, you know it can be quite hectic. It’s a big airport with a lot of people, and almost everyone is wearing Mickey ears (us included). Whenever there’s a change at the airport, we’re on high alert because a good change can mean your flying experience goes more smoothly, or you need to be ready for the chaos.

Orlando International Airport

According to Fox Orlando, Orlando Airport is undergoing some changes, and we’re breaking them down right here!

Virgin Atlantic will relocate all arrivals and departures from Terminal A to Terminal C starting on June 30th.

Terminal C has recently been expanded, adding four new gates to accommodate both narrow-body and widebody aircraft. Virgin Atlantic currently has daily nonstop flights between Orlando and London Heathrow and Manchester, along with a seasonal service to Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Orlando Airport says this relocation is part of a broader strategy to balance passenger traffic across terminals and improve efficiency at security checkpoints, concessions, and other passenger areas. Rental car services will continue to be available across all three terminals.

There are tons of changes coming to the Orlando Airport, including parking enhancements, including a $13.9 million Parking Guidance System that will provide real-time information on about 11,000 spaces located throughout the four parking garages, as well as the addition of 8,000 new spaces. If you’ve ever tried to park your car and go inside to pick up someone, you know how the parking spots are almost always full no matter what time of the day!

Orlando Airport is also adding tons of new restaurants, including well-known chains and local spots. Personally, I’m excited to see Kelly’s Homemade Ice Cream, a local ice cream spot in Orlando, coming to the airport. Who doesn’t like grabbing a sweet treat before heading on their plane? Or maybe after you get off before you hit the waves of humidity!

That’s just the start of the changes, but the Terminal C expansion is a huge step forward. Make sure you keep following Disney Food Blog for more news you need to know before your next trip to the Orlando Airport.
