Never had a problem driving to Costco in Orlando, at least the one on Garden Park near Millennia Mall. Worst trip was just over an hour. We usually go once a month unless we are making a couple Disney trips. If you avoid 8-9AM and 5-6PM it's not a problem. It's more than just Costco, it's also Trader Joe's and Whole Foods and LOTS of great restaurants not even considering 2 big malls (outlet and "high end") and Universal Studios and lots of other things to do. While there is a lot to do here we still need a break from just staying in the bubble day after day. Need a break and some real civilization. That was the hardest thing for us to give up from up North in the NYC/NJ area. Maybe in a few more years we'll change our ways but for now we need to escape the bubble occasionally.
