I didn’t think of this, how much time is it best to leave between the flights? I think we’ve got about 2.5 hours, should that be ok? It’s all these little things I’ve not thought of 🤦🏻

At the moment yes, BUT it is supposed to change how you do it some time this year.. reportedly they are going to add a flight connection area for domestic arrivals so you don't need get on a bus or exit into the main departure area and go back through main security

I would say you should be fine

Ive dont the GLA-LGW-MCO before (not with a child though!) and it's fine. Coming back is worse than going because of the times etc. You just want to be home in bed but you gotta wait in London for another flight to GLA aha. But other than that its all good!

Plenty of time

It doesn't take long it's just a faff! My kids are well travelled now so can sort themselves out at security but when they were toddlers it was an extra stress we definitely didn't need!

And yes, that wait on the way home is loooooong

Will we make it back to WDW?

If the flights were the right price I'd do it again too!

On the way home on this route do you need to collect luggage in LGW or is it checked through?

We miss the magic

It’s checked through to your final destination. Just double check with agent at MCO but they do that automatically anyway
