Arriving very early into Orlando

[bralli]

Due to my teens testing schedule, I do not have the luxury of coming in the night before, so to play it safe I booked a very early flight that gets us in at 5am. Coming from the West Coast, that's like 2am our time. Is there a hotel at the airport or even an area of benches that we might crash for a few hours to catch up on sleep and wait for the Disney shuttles to start up? Thanks for the reply.

There's a Hyatt inside the main terminal

Or you can book an inexpensive room near the MCO airport, alert the front desk that you will not check in until about 5:30 or so. Grab a nap, a shower, and maybe a dip in the pool. Check out about noon-1:00 and head to the port.

if you don't want to pay for a room ..... the entrance to the airport hotel is from the main concourse area where all the security gates branch out from. There is a pair of escalators up to the hotel lobby. The lobby area is LARGE with a bunch of clusters of sofas and overstuffed chairs. It is common for folks to stake out a corner (away from the desk) and crash for a few hours ... you can find an outlet to charge your devices and the food courts and shops are 'right there'

 

it is a secret locals know, so don't tell!

the hotel may give you the 'day room' rate if you want 5am to noon .....

You may want to check out a day rate at the Hyatt. I have stayed thee and was very pleased.
