We have a late flight, what is there to do near MCO?

Our flight isn’t until 6:55 pm, suggestions on what to do? We are a group of 8 women.

I would rent 2-3 cars (depending upon luggage) and spend the day at Kennedy Space Center before heading to MCO

Or spend the day at the beach

Or head to one of the outlet malls/shopping centers/Downtown Disney

On international drive there is an entertainment center of sorts. It has a madame trousseads wax museum, the giant ferris wheel (The Orlando Eye) and a couple of other things. Its a perfect amount of time for that. Check if any of those places will hold your luggage. If not you will need to rent a can (but it might be cheaper to rent a hotel room!) Leave plenty of time at MCO. Last time we were there we barely made it with 2.5 hour advance arrival. I think that was unusual, but you definately want the full 2 hours. Resortpasses.com also has the Hyatt Regency for a day pass. THat would take care of the luggage issue.

Do either of you know how far the closest movie theater is from MCO? Coming back from an 8-day Cruise we will be exhausted.

This is the closest; it's north of the airport just off Semoran Blvd.

It's in a shopping center with restaurants and some shopping.

You can rent a day room at the Hyatt Airport Hotel and go to the pool and have drinks at their bar.

Why not Disney Springs?

How far is Disney Springs?

An hour or so from the port. Not unreasonable from the airport. Perfect for lunch especially if you want a little Disney in your trip.
