Near downtown Orlando, there are tons of concert venues to choose from. One of the biggest and most popular ones is the Amway Center, known for housing some of the biggest names in music. The Amway Center hosts many kinds of events like sports games, conferences, and music shows, but chances are if you are going to a concert by a well-known artist in Orlando, you will probably end up at the Amway Center.

A decent amount of planning is recommended to take place before attending a concert in Orlando. The reason why is because Orlando is a huge city with a lot of traffic, especially if you are taking I-4 to get there. There are always things going on in the city and if you live close by, chances are you will experience some of the traffic and time delays when leaving your Orlando apartment to go to work, school, or any other priorities you have.

Pay Attention to the Time of the Concert in Orlando Apartments

If you live in a 4-bedroom apartment with other roommates and they decide to accompany you to a concert, you need to make sure everyone is ready on time. Nothing is more frustrating than being unprepared and either missing part of the concert because you get there late, or not being able to find parking near apartments in Orlando because you didn't leave early enough. Either way, it all comes down to a lack of prior planning.

I suggest typing out in the GPS on your phone how long it will take to get to the concert venue. Depending on if you are close or are taking a major interstate, you might need to adjust the buffer time you give yourself when leaving for an event. I normally leave for a concert 30 minutes to an hour early just because accidents on the road, traffic, and parking can be difficult to find right before the event starts.

Also, if you are unsure whether it will take a long time to get to a venue from your Orlando apartment, opting for a day trip to a place near that venue can be helpful. If you find a restaurant close to the venue, maybe getting there a few hours early, finding parking, and eating a meal before the concert can save you a lot of stress and anxiety from leaving closer to the time of the concert.

Pack the Necessary Essentials for a Concert Near Apartments in Orlando

Some concert venues only allow certain things to be brought inside. Also, oftentimes due to security reasons, you are only able to bring a small bag inside. If this is the case, being mindful of what you bring is going to save less hassle when security stops you at the gate to check your bag. At the Amway center, they have specific policies for what they allow.

Searching up the venue's specific bag policies ahead of time can be useful and save you from needing to throw things away when you get to the event. You can pack as many things as you want in your car, but what goes inside the venue is up to the establishment themselves.
