Getting to Universal by Car -- Universal Orlando is a half-mile north of I-4 Exit 75B, Kirkman Road/Highway 435. There may be construction in the area, so follow the signs directing you to the parks.
Parking -- If you park in the multilevel garages, remember the theme and row in your area to help you find your car later. Or, do it the old-fashioned way: Write it down. Parking costs $11 for cars, light trucks, and vans. Valet parking is $18. Universal's garages are connected to its parks and have moving sidewalks, but it's still a long walk.
