The Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program has returned, and non-ticketed guests can once again pass through security at Orlando International Airport. With this newest version of the pass, approved visitors can now shop and dine at all terminals.

Beginning December 16, visitors may apply for access to post-security areas in Terminals A, B, and C. This is the first time the program has included all terminals at MCO, as access to Terminal C is a new addition to the pass. The Experience MCO program allows non-travelers to clear TSA security in order to shop, dine, or spend time with friends and family inside the airport.

The program was previously paused by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) following its initial launch to evaluate staffing and operational feasibility. With its relaunch, GOAA has expanded the program.

“Orlando International Airport is pleased to welcome the return of non-ticketed guests to eat at our restaurants, explore our retail concessions, or simply spend quality time with a traveling loved one,” said GOAA CEO Lance Lyttle. “We thank our partners with the Transportation Security Administration for their assistance with the program’s re-implementation now in place across our entire campus.”

Guests interested in participating must apply in advance through the official Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program website. Applications may be submitted up to seven days before the desired visit, with availability limited each day.

Approved visitors may only enter the post-security area during their approved timeslot. Timeslots are available between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. Guests may apply up to seven days in advance and must exit the post-security area by 8:00 pm.

Applications are processed at midnight on the day of the requested visit. Approved guests must present both a digital Experience MCO Visitor Pass and a TSA-approved form of identification, such as a passport or REAL ID, at the security checkpoint.

Visitor Pass holders are subject to the same TSA screening requirements as ticketed passengers, including restrictions on prohibited items and liquids.

At this time, participants must use standard TSA screening lanes, as expedited screening options are not permitted for the program.
