Parking: 

Patrons traveling in vehicles to downtown should consider planning their traveling routes based on where they will park and use the parking location address to navigate. 

Most parking garages in downtown Orlando are a short walk from entertainment locations and will allow patrons to enter and exit quicker than those in close proximity to venues.
