Universal’s newest theme park has arrived—and demand is sky‑high. If you’re flying into MCO, secure your car rental early so you can move between hotels, CityWalk, and other parks on your schedule.
Driving to the park
Expect new traffic patterns near the resort area on peak mornings. Leave 30–45 minutes earlier than you think, especially during school holidays and weekends. Save your parking location in your phone—lots are large and days are long.
Parking basics
- General vs. prime vs. valet. Choose based on how much walking you want at the end of the night. Families with strollers often find prime or valet worth the splurge after fireworks.
- EV charging. If you book an EV, confirm charger availability and bring your access cards/apps set up in advance.
- Re‑entry. Ask attendants about same‑day re‑entry rules if you plan a midday hotel break.
Choosing the right vehicle
Group of four to six? A minivan is the theme‑park MVP, with sliding doors and flexible cargo—see minivan rentals in Orlando. Doing multi‑park days with costumes and camera gear? Consider an SUV at MCO for extra space. If you prefer brand familiarity, compare partners such as Alamo at MCO on our platform, or browse the broader Orlando car rental page.
Time‑saving park day tactics
- Arrive early, break midday. Rope‑drop mornings plus a hotel rest sets you up for evening shows with less stress.
- Pack like a pro. Collapsible water bottles, compact ponchos, and a small power bank go a long way.
- Stage the trunk. Keep spare layers and snacks in a labeled tote so evening transitions are seamless.
