This is what brings a wry to my face about everyone complaining about three hour waits in the uk. We last landed at MCO in 2019 before the pandemic and we took 2 3/4 hours to get through with a 3 year old and a baby.
Double stroller was after border control so one parent carried the baby and the other the 3 year old, and I struggled with all the hand baggage so looked like a street vendor trying to sell stuff!
The three year old began screaming as she was bewildered and exhausted. When it was eventually our turn the immigration guy gave us a foul look and asked what was wrong with her. We just smiled and politely said she is just tired! Duh!
The airport staff sorry to be sexist (female) clearly felt sorry for us and brought us a wheelchair for her that wasn’t required at the time until we could be reunited with the buggy. That made life much easier.
We just accepted what was going on in order for it to be short term pain for long term gain!
It was soon forgotten until we repeat the experience later this year! This time the baby will be 3 and his screams can be ear piercing lol! Sorry anyone else in line on our flight!
