MCO lounge confusion

Hoping someone can advise me! I’ve read on here that the lounges at MCO are a bit rubbish, but assuming we want to give it a try I am confused as to which it would be.
2 of us are flying UC, the Virgin app states that they partner with an independent lounge, but everything I’ve read on here states it is the Delta one? Also would we be able to take a guest each as 2 are flying PE?
Cheers

Hi Estelle
We travelled in June and it is the Delta Sky Club that Virgin use for upper class passengers,
You should be able to take a guest as long as they are on the same flight?
The lounge was a lot better than previous visits and is dependent on the staff.

Hi Estelle
Just to add, when Mrs Buns and I visited the MCO Delta Sky Club in May along with two family members who were travelling in Premium on our flight, we too were able to guest in.
However, in accordance with Delta's rules, we were required to show Our VS Gold Cards, even though we were travelling in Upper Class ourselves - so you are right to be cautious.

Thanks everyone. So we are back now, and as suggested we couldn't get our PE guests into the Delta lounge as that is only for certain statuses rather than just because you are flying UC.
Seems like a strange rule as the lounge was sooo empty, but this may also be because it was (as many have suggested) pretty awful. It's a lovely looking lounge and very spacious, but if you don't want to drink alcohol (the bar service is actually very good) then there isn't much point to it. The food choices and quality were very poor and the coffee (we tried both machine and urn) was undrinkable!
I was quite grateful that there was no option to pay for guests as the kids are 19 so can't drink in the US and it really wouldn't have been worth it!
