Orlando International Airport (MCO) had travelers laughing on April Fool’s Day with a cleverly orchestrated prank. Across the city, the airport displayed 12 billboards featuring a phone number, enticing fans to call and discover its mystery.
Those who dialed the number were greeted by none other than Mayor Buddy Dyer’s iconic message—one that passengers typically hear upon arriving at MCO via the airport tram. Over the years, this welcome announcement had become a beloved tradition, marking the unofficial start of many Disney vacations.
The prank played on this nostalgia, offering locals and visitors alike a lighthearted moment to celebrate the day. Social media quickly buzzed with reactions, as many delighted callers shared their amusement at the unexpected joke.
MCO’s playful approach to April Fool’s Day once again highlighted its connection to the city’s vibrant tourism culture, proving that even an airport could join in on the fun.
