Drive times in Orlando

[Mrsgrumpy2000]

:coffee: Yahoo, we are leaving tomorrow!! Just a couple of last minute questions... I am staying south of Orlando, in Kissimmee, approximately 15 miles from USOF. How long do you think it will take to get to park in the mornings? From all the invaluable advice from DIS, I know I need to get there before they actually open.
If I rent a locker, can I use it at different locations throughout both parks? I have large camera that I need to store before I get on rides.
As always, thanks for all the great information! :thumbsup2

do the drive from kissimmee before rush hour.
even if you have extra time you have to wait at UO, it is worth it.

traffic gets backed up on rush hour periods.

i stayed in kissimmee once in the early 90's and drove to universal.
it made the biggest difference n the world not having to sit in traffic for that short drive.
and, it was much easier to have the kids out of the car for that time period which would have seemed like an eternal time otherwise......

there are free lockers by all the major rides where you can not take belongings on. the free time is for one hour. if lines are long, the tm's can extend that one free hour period for the lockers.
use the free lockers for the camera and belongings.

i have made the drive in 25 minutes before, but no traffic.
