Default Orlando area airports

Jon,
I've gotten similar positive comments from others about MCO. I was
concerned that MCO wouldn't want to cater to small GA planes. Sounds
like I was wrong. As it turns out, the trip is scrubbed for this
week anyway. We're going commercial.

Dave,
You should choose whichever one you are most comfortable with.. That
is one of the great thing about mco they really treat the little guy
great. It is a big airport and you do need to be able to communicate
and navigate up to that level of airport. It is a lot of fun.. Have a
nice flight whatever airport you go to.

I've flown into KISM (Kissimmee) twice and have received good service
both times. If you get the ILS or GPS to RW 13 it takes you right over
Disney World, which of course they do not normally let you do. KISM is
convenient to most of the Orlando area attractios and is actually closer
to Disney (and probably Sea World) than MCO. And no toll roads!!
It always bugged me to come out of MCO and the first thing you see is
the toll booth (although the locals know the way around it), then you go
a couple of miles and there is another...
I can remember (I won't say how long ago) when I first drove the
Bee-line from I4 to Coco Beach, the toll for the entire length was $ .10
(10 cents) and MCO was still (only) an Air Force base and all you saw
from the Bee-line were several rows of B-52 tails sticking up....
