Parking for holiday parities

[Livelovedisney]

Hello Everyone,
We are heading down to FL during Thanksgiving week. The issue is we are staying off site (marriott lakeshore reserve) and will be attending Mickey's Very Merry Christmas party and Jollywood nights. Got any tips in terms of parking and if we have to worry about traffic? Thanks for any info you all can provide.

You park in the same lots as normal.

Yes, there will be traffic.

Take the 417 toll road instead of I-4 if leaving in afternoon to WDW. Traffic is way of life in Central FL.

Thanks for the heads up. We usually stay on site, and this will be our first time actually parking at the parks.

Where you are staying at Grande Lakes Orlando is in a beautiful resort. We stayed at the JW next to the Ritz and the surroundings , service, etc are first class. Disney pales in guest service compared to Grande Lakes.
