Plan your trip
Getting here is half the fun.
Fly in, drive in, trailer in, or come by boat. Here's everything you need to get to Orlando, the Keys, and the sand.
Getting here
Pick your ride.
Flying in
For Thursday in Orlando, fly into Orlando International (MCO). Check directions to the Embassy Suites and allow extra time for traffic and hotel arrival.
Going straight to the Keys? Miami International (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) are mainland options. Driving times depend on traffic; Florida City is where US-1 turns into the Overseas Highway. Official Keys travel guidance.
Driving your classic
The best way to arrive is with us: meet in Orlando Thursday and drive the Road to the Keys Friday. About 385 miles for the day, including lunch in Marathon.
Trailering
Trailer and tow-rig parking will be available at the show. Put your total truck-and-trailer length on your registration so we can plan space.
Final instructions go to registered participants before the event.
By boat
Gilbert's Resort has a marina and welcomes boaters. Tie up and walk over to the show.
Contact the resort about a slip before you come.
