Several new restaurants and markets<\/a> will open.<\/p>\n An optional biometric facial scan will also be available during the boarding process.<\/p>\n For reference, below is what the MCO atrium looks like today.<\/p>\n Watch the full video of MCO\u2019s phase 2 vision below.<\/p>\n How do you feel about the updates to MCO?
