Orlando Airport Luggage Question

[Culpeo]

Hello, everyone!

First, the main question -- Are there storage lockers for luggage available at MCO?

Now the nuance: For my upcoming cruise, the only return flight home I was able to work out was nearly 9PM. Renting a car is not an option, so I will be getting back to the airport early with a shuttle service. To say the least, I will have a lot of spare time! Initially it was fine; I was going to spend some time with family in FL. Sadly that will not be possible that particular day.

I'm flying with Southwest and I can only check my bag 4 hours prior to departure. I am also going to be completely solo, and this is my first time flying alone. I have been to MCO before (a few years ago), but I was not in charge for those trips. I have most things worked out except for how exactly I will handle my wait time. If it's possible to store my luggage somewhere for a bit that would be wonderful.

With that said, are there any recommendations or advice anyone may have? I do have some things I will be able to work on and do, but I'd like to explore the airport and move around a little bit in between 🙂

Thank you for your time, everyone!

Find out if your cruise line has tours that drop you at the airport. That may get you to the airport mid-late afternoon,  but it's a start on using your time. The luggage will be on the tour bus with you. Or see if your cruise line does a luggage valet program that takes your bags from the ship to the airport,  and you pick it up at your home destination airport.
