Each year, Orlando International Airport (MCO) sees millions of visitors, and for many of them, the airport serves as a gateway — and in some ways, the official start of a vacation — to Disney World, Universal Orlando, and other Central Florida tourist attractions.
Orlando International Airport
Now, MCO has introduced its own spin on one of Disney World’s most beloved traditions: Celebration Buttons!
These complimentary personalized pieces, which allow people to show other guests and Cast Members what they’re celebrating at the resort, have become immensely popular in recent years. Cast Members will personalize these buttons with guests’ names, dates, and specifics of their celebration.
Anniversary Celebration
There are several variants available around Disney World, including:
- 1st Visit
- Birthday
- Happily Ever After for weddings, engagements, honeymoons, and anniversaries
- “I’m Celebrating…” that can be personalized for any occasion
Celebration Button!
Now MCO is getting into the fun, introducing its own personalized buttons!
According to MCO’s Instagram post, these “Memories Created in Orlando” buttons are available at information desks near the security checkpoints in Terminals A, B, and C. Celebrations include “My First Flight,” “It’s My Birthday,” and general celebration buttons!

After getting your button, you can extend the Disney experience at MCO by stopping by one of the official Magic of Disney (located in Terminals B and C) and the Universal (Terminals A, B, and C) stores. By doing so, you can get a sneak peek at what kind of merchandise will be available during your trip if you’re visiting one or both of the resorts, and what you may be missing out on if you’re only visiting one.

Of course, once you get to Disney World, you’ll need to eat somewhere while showing off your spiffy new button. We’ve been there – picking restaurants for Disney World can feel like a full-time job. Between the reviews, menus, and reservation strategies, it’s a lot to sort through. Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!
