Heads up if you’re flying in or out of the Orlando International Airport (MCO).
Orlando Airport is currently on a complete ground stop.
If you’re visiting Disney World in the summer, you’re probably already aware that the weather can be a problem sometimes, and not just because it’s also hurricane season (although that can put a wrench in your travel plans).
Not only do you have to worry about those random summer thunderstorms that can seemingly pop up out of nowhere and drench you in the parks (and close rides), but you also have to worry about how those storms — and other weather — could affect your flight to and from Disney World. Well, today, that’s exactly what happened. According to WFTV, the Federal Aviation Administration called a ground stop at several Florida airports, including Orlando International Airport, due to severe thunderstorms. That means that a lot of flights to and from Orlando will probably experience delays today.
All flights into Orlando International Airport, along with other Florida airports, are on hold at this time.
Flights into additional cities along Florida’s East Coast — including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach — are also in a ground stop until 8 PM Eastern Time on Thursday, March 6th.
If you’re traveling through the Orlando Airport, you might want to check the status of your flight. Now check it again. One more time? Flight delays and cancelations are pretty common these days — especially in Central Florida!
