    I saw the closest hotel is already sold out. What's the best way to get there and handle traffic/parking issues?

    Anyone have advice on hotels or best way to get around during weekend? Do you recommend taking two cars?

    I reserved at the Gaylord Palms because that was the one recommended by FCA. However, then I found out the shuttles to the Leno event and the Four Seasons event left from the Bohemian Celebration hotel. The Gaylord is about 3 miles from the Celebration hotel.

    I emailed Jeff at CECF and he suggested just leaving my car in its assigned spot (24 hour security) and taking uber from my hotel to the Celebration hotel. I'm thinking I may drive my car to Celebration, park in my assigned spot, take the shuttle back from the event and drive my car back to the Gaylord at night.

    This is my first attendance at this event so I'm open to advice from regulars.

    It's an awesome event. There should be plenty of options for hotels, Disney is right there. I'm lucky to live close enough to drive to the show. Traffic can be tiresome on 192, but it's not horrible.

    That's great advice from Jeff.

    I've attended this event numerous times (staying at the Bohemian, at least 4 times with a car entered, and always left the car in it's assigned spot from Friday afternoon until Sunday morning. But depending on where your spot is, you may need to relocate it after Saturday's concours, and easily find a great parking spot for Saturday evening until Sunday morning.

    I can't wait for this! It's always a great show. This will be my 8th year in a row. I was there in 2006 for a small Fchat lunch, but missed out on the 2007-2009 shows unfortunately. :(

    I received an update email from Jeff and now there will be a shuttle bus leaving from the Gaylord Palms (and also from the Melia Suites). So that takes care of Friday night. On Saturday there is only a shuttle bus from the Celebration Hotel.

    Seriously?! The first show I missed in five years and they had a Koenigsegg there! Had a work emergency today, so that kept me occupied all day. Hoped to get out in time. Maybe next year.

    Yep! I've been 8 years in a row now plus 2006. I think I've now seen every supercar at the event with Koenigsegg being there this year...crazy.

    Here's a walk through video I made. Not sure why the GoPro cut it into two videos, but it's a 20 minute one-take through the place:

    He is probably busy shooting his TV series in Chicago.
