Parking in Celebration and Old Town

I'm hoping to take a visit to Celebration and the Old Town on the 192, since we'll be at Vista del Lago.
Is it easy enough to find parking spots? I've only ever parked in the lots at the parks or the Hotel apart from a trip to Clearwater.

Haven't been to Old Town for at least 10 years but visit Celebration at least twice every holiday.

We are always able to park free kerbside on Front Street near the old cinema (although we never visit on 31 Oct ). A couple of minutes walk away from Market Street shops and restaurants.

There are parking lots behind the shops on both sides of Market Street but we've never needed them.

If you do park kerb side though make sure you are parked in the direction of travel if you know what I mean. They are pretty hot on that apparently.

Yep both easy. There's a car park at Old Town and Celebration has a few car parks plus plenty of on street parking. Like Mick says though make sure you only park in direction of travel

Parking at old town is easy if it's not on a car show night but even then there is a car park $5-10 depending on the night
Open air cinema at old town on a Sunday evening starts soon as well
Check,out the old town web site
Just don't be tempted to,park,in one of Resturant car parks if not eating in them you may get towed

Wow, thanks for the tips. I knew about parking facing the direction of travel but I didn't know about getting towed for parking in a restaurant car park.

Tempted by the car shows, though I expect DDs 13 & 12 won't be as enthralled... DW fancies Kilwin's in Celebration too.

Really only at the restaurants by old town on car show nights or if you park in a disabled parking space without a Florida temp parking permit

Never a trip goes by without a Kilwins. Eaten sitting in the rocking chairs looking at the lake if we can.

I know it doesn't suit your dates but always worth a trip at Halloween and Christmas just to see the decorated houses,

If you are around Celebration around 5th - 7th of April watch out for the Celebration Exotic Car show definitely worth a visit.

We always manage to find a space in the car park behind Starbucks, it’s free and the spaces are wide.
