EU is less than the UK, probably combined as no EU country even registers on the top visitors list. The bulk of the international visitors to Orlando are from Canada - around 3m.

As said earlier in the thread, attendance is down due to massive last minute cancellations across the board, predominately from the domestic market. Yes, there is still a large chunk of international travel missing but it was expected to be near capacity this week prior to the Delta spike, with or without us.

ETA:

Because I was curious and like data, August doesn't increase the total international arrivals as much as people think. In 2019, MCO had 669,909 international arrivals in August which is only 9.36% of the yearly total. July is actually the most popular month at 9.66% and September the least at 6.72%. However in 2019, September travel was below average due to Hurricane Dorian closing the airport.

Obviously there will be additional arrivals from other airports, but MCO does make up the vast majority of air arrivals to the Orlando area. So is unlikely to massively skew these percentages.
