Narrative:
I was cleared to land runway 36L (runway 36R was closed) (mco). The previous night I went to mco it was runway 36L that was closed and that was my confusion. I fixated on runway 36L being closed and my mind disregarded other information. Compounding the situation was the fact that I tuned the ILS for runway 36R and although it was VMC, I was paying more attention to the ILS information than the outside. Consequently when I finally concentrated exclusively on the 'outside' I was already too low and too close to the runway to change to the other runway. Upon landing I took the first exit and during taxi, the tower told me I had landed on the wrong runway. I admitted my mistake and taxied to the ramp. The tower did not seem to pursue the situation and I was not instructed to call the tower or make any kind of report.

Narrative: I WAS CLRED TO LAND RWY 36L (RWY 36R WAS CLOSED) (MCO). THE PREVIOUS NIGHT I WENT TO MCO IT WAS RWY 36L THAT WAS CLOSED AND THAT WAS MY CONFUSION. I FIXATED ON RWY 36L BEING CLOSED AND MY MIND DISREGARDED OTHER INFO. COMPOUNDING THE SIT WAS THE FACT THAT I TUNED THE ILS FOR RWY 36R AND ALTHOUGH IT WAS VMC, I WAS PAYING MORE ATTN TO THE ILS INFO THAN THE OUTSIDE. CONSEQUENTLY WHEN I FINALLY CONCENTRATED EXCLUSIVELY ON THE 'OUTSIDE' I WAS ALREADY TOO LOW AND TOO CLOSE TO THE RWY TO CHANGE TO THE OTHER RWY. UPON LNDG I TOOK THE FIRST EXIT AND DURING TAXI, THE TWR TOLD ME I HAD LANDED ON THE WRONG RWY. I ADMITTED MY MISTAKE AND TAXIED TO THE RAMP.
