My understanding of how it should work (at MCO)....
Your passport & facial recognition scan are taken on arrival - all being well, admitted into the USA.
On check-in for the return flight, your passport is swiped through the keyboard at check-in.
When you come to board the plane, facial recognition is used & if matched, you are allowed to board the flight & should be marked as having departed the USA.
I've checked my I-94 record online & thankfully all is in order, no overstays. It has to be said the facial recognition on the Global Entry machines is scary - no need to scan a passport & the machine normally finds you within seconds. OK, it knows what the day & time is / your flight number, so that narrows it down a lot, but even so, it's fast.
To Buns & Mrs Buns, I hope your trip at the weekend & passage into the USA goes smoothly.
