Narrative:
While being vectored we were sequenced 6 miles in trail of an A321. On the descent at 6500 feet while on a downwind vector for a visual approach to runway 36L into the mco airport we experienced wake turbulence. We slowed our rate of descent to avoid any further wake encounter. We referenced the ILS glideslope by staying a dot high to continue avoiding any potential further wake encounter. We encountered no further wake turbulence.
