Driving in Orlando
Throughout the United States, you must drive on the right and overtake on the left. This is important to note especially if you’re coming from a country where the opposite is true.
When driving, you’re likely to come across toll roads which vary in price from 50 cents to $2, so make sure you carry some spare change with you at all times. The roads are generally well signposted with Walt Disney Resort located off Intersect 4.
There are many rules of the road in Florida. For instance, when it rains, you must turn your headlights on. Florida is prone to some rather heavy downpours and therefore this is key to remember. Stop signs are mandatory. It’s illegal to carry alcohol unless it’s secure in the boot. Speed limits vary, so keep an eye out for signs.
You should also be aware of peak travel times in Orlando. These including the morning and evening work commute from 7.30-9.30am and 4.30-6.30pm. There’s also the 11am check-out time and 3pm check-in time of local hotels, where many travellers are on the roads.
There are plenty of downtown parking lots and metred spaces. Designated parking at Disney costs $25 per day which is on the pricey side. If you stay at Disney Resort, however, parking is complimentary.
