Hi

I am travelling with two small children from LHR to MCO via JFK

We arrive at 12:35 into T7. We have to collect our luggage and get over the T8 for a flight departing at 14:50 to MCO.

Do we have time?

Both children have entry visa's as their Englsih father is working in Orlando ... but I don't .... hoping immigration will process me with the children as gardian.

You should have enough time with 2 hour time window.
