Solo travelling (Gold) with young daughter, to keen to minimise stress….
9pm departure time so hoping termina,l security etc will be quiet.
Any hints (nice place to eat/relax, security wait times, where to check in etc), would be appreciated
Since you left out almost all the important detail such as when and what airline it’s pretty much impossible to give you an answer.
Terminal C – check in at the desk for your airline, in the business queue if you have status.
9pm flight means you should be there for six which will be peak hours because all international flights will be leaving for their overnight flights.
Security wait times will be what they are on the day due to staffing levels, number of passengers etc. You can check times with the TSA App
The lounge isn’t great so wouldn’t rush to get there super early. Security mixed bag.
On security. Preregister on MCO Reserve. It is like a free fast track where fast track means much less slow track than main queue.

Excerpt from relevant trip report is below.
“We then wandered over to Security where they had lots of monitors saying the wait would be 34-38 minutes. Surprisingly Kermit seemed fairly well composed despite the potential adversity. When checking in online, United Airlines had suggested booking a security slot with “MCO reserve” which I thought was a bit of a nonsense but, after consulting with Mrs Froggee (who felt that she had nothing to lose by me wasting my time) I booked a slot. I had booked 7:30am and we were allowed to arrive within ten minutes either side of this. We asked the gatekeeper if we could enter at 7:18am and she let us pass after a courtesy scan of my barcode. MCO Reserve was pretty efficient and we were through and repacked within 15 minutes of entering. If it had not been for them making Mrs Froggee and I remove our trainers I would almost have been pleased with the experience.”
