Airport food strategy

[Back!Elbow!Shoulders!]

If your flight to MCO lands at a meal time do you grab a bite at the airport or try to hold out until you get to your hotel?

Inquiring minds (and tummies) want to know.

To avoid a case of the hangries I am planning on grabbing at least a little something before heading to the MDE area but was curious about other’s strategies/thoughts.

depending how long your flight is... there's isnt much near MCO... but Disney isnt far. Can you make it 30-45 min without dying if hunger provided you eat breakfast before your flight? On the way from MCO to Disney, there's PLENTY of food available

They were using DME, so no stops between MCO and WDW for them.

I usually just buy a few snacks after security for the plane, and eat when i land if i am hungry. Its about 30mins to your hotel and some time to check in, with a rental. DME is quite a bit longer. If you feel like your getting hungry .. just eat something at the airport.

Man, I love me some Panda Express noodles between flights, or maybe to tide me over while I wait for my DME bus...

Do not eat at airport. Way cheaper and better at anywhere else (including parks)

I travel extensively and there are very few times I’d say eat before leaving airport makes more sense, in this case it’s less than an hour from touchdown to hotel

DH refuses to eat at Panda Express (he’s a weirdo) but he’s not coming on this trip...

I really appreciate hearing everyone’s tips and strategies. I’ve got my game plan but “the best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.”

I am flying in the winter from the Mid West (and on Spirit to boot) so there’s a good chance my lunch landing could end up being a dinner or late night snack landing. . Thanks again.

We always eat at Starbucks, in the airport.

It's not cheaper at the parks. Better is also debatable. In between, certainly.
