Throughout Annie’s Airport Journey, she’ll stroll through a 3-D replica of terminals A and B, check-in counters, plants, a food court, and other key features from the airport. The experience also includes real-time TSA wait times, 3-1-1 reminders, TSA tips like bin reminders, concession highlights and hidden “Easter eggs.”
The immersive content plays on LED video walls at the airport’s West Checkpoint. It also features:
- Eight scenes based on MCO’s terminal architecture
- More than 1,000 animated elements and 100 custom characters
- Live API integrations for real-time updates
- Airport-specific details like native Florida trees, MCO’s iconic carpet and Synect’s ReadySeeGo technology

Oct 28, 2026Review: Caribe Royale Orlando
It’s truly its own universe: Caribe Royale Orlando is a sprawling property beckoning you forward with its coral pink exterior spanning many towers and buildings. The two-level lobby alone feels more like a community than a hotel lobby, with a Starbucks; access to the signature restaurant (in the midst of renovations), sports bar and gift shop; and a plethora of seating options. The bilevel layout also makes the entire space seem larger, opening up to the massive pool awaiting just behind the back doors.

Oct 23, 2026The Flight Less Taken: Unsung Carriers Whisk You Away to Far-Flung Destinations
The miracle of flight feels slightly less miraculous these days. Endless delays, cramped seating and shortchanged amenities feel par for the course, and one can easily forget the wondrous fact that you’re hurtling above planet Earth, soaring above the clouds and across the skies to your destination of choice.

It’s not hyperbolic to invoke the invention of the wheel when reminding oneself to stay calm and carry on in coach.
