Halloween season reshapes parking patterns across Orlando. Late afternoons bring lane merges and full rows; mornings reward early birds with shorter walks. If you’re landing at MCO, line up your car rental first, then choose a lot that matches your planned exit route—not just the closest escalator.
Arrive‑Early Strategy
Beat the 7–9 p.m. surge by arriving before sundown. Photograph the level sign and count moving walkways to the hub so you can retrace steps after midnight. Place a reflective tag on your bag and set a parking‑pin in your maps app.
International arrivals can explore car hire options with airport pickup to transition from baggage claim straight to the parks. Families carrying costumes or coolers may prefer a multi‑row van for easier loading.
Value seekers often like simple counters and clear signage. Look for predictable desk hours with Budget at MCO or quick garage retrievals with Hertz near the ramps. When leaving, pick the down‑ramp closest to your outbound road to skip long interior loops.
Walking Distances: What to Expect
- Garage to gate can feel long—pace yourself and plan hydration stops.
- Expect heavier pedestrian flows after fireworks and event finales.
- Choose shoes with grip; polished concrete can be slick in rain.
