We fly in and out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) quite often and it's definitely our favorite airport. Even though the airport itself is quite large and hosts many airlines in it's 129 gates, it's very well laid out and they've truely streamlined the extra security measures/screening put into place since 9/11 to make it quite easy for travelers. Our kids look forward to taking the shuttle (they call it the 'monorail') between the main terminal and the gates - they especially love the window seat in the front! :) The newer shopping area feels like a mall and they have a great selection of shops including Magic of Disney & Walt Disney Earport, Sea World Store, and Universal Studio Store in case you forgot to pick up your theme park souveniers! Restaurants include our favorite, Chili's, which is a super place to have a burger or split some appetizers! Perhaps the neatest feature is the Hyatt Hotel which is right IN the airport!!! I've heard great reviews from friends that have had the chance to stay there - some even got a runway view! ;)
