If you can't find how long your layover is on any off your paperwork/email, then try looking for your flights on expedia/google flights and expand the flight details. It will tell you what your layover is. If it's 2+ hours you should have plenty of time, if it's less than two hours you may want to check that there are flights later in the day to Orlando - I would be very surprised if there isn't.

If you could please post more details of flight departure and arrival times it will give us more information to offer advice.

Looks like AA99 LHR to ORD is scheduled to arrive 10.35, so 92 minutes transfer time.

IMO, that is quite tight as you will need to clear immigration and collect baggage and recheck baggage as far as I know, but I have not flown that route so have no first hand knowledge of the likely time to pass through ORD?

I�ve transferred with AA at ORD many times . Always found immigration quick and the monorail to the connecting flight�s terminal quick.
I�d suggest you go straight to your domestic gate and then get drinks or browse shops from there rather than enroute to the gate. There�s shops and food outlets close to all the gates.
It�s one of my favourite indirect routes.

I find transfers in Chicago hellish. Personally, I would allow 2 - 3 hours. You might make the connection, but not sure about your luggage (I have had delayed luggage through ORD 3 times).
