If we r returning from Disney will stop at Clermont everyday stuff will have dropped at front door

Then again our 5 Costco up north had zero to waiting for parking, they were all in back of shopping plazas, nowhere near a freeway, but close to 4-6 lane roads. We have been Costco members since the first one was built in MI. Standard shopping trip was commissary Sam’s Club, Costco, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s. Driving M-59 through Sterile Heights to Selfridge base was a nightmare no matter what day, or time.
Zero issues parking at Clermont Costco every time we’ve gone, including last Monday. We go on weekdays about 1-ish and park 2-3 spaces from entrance every time with many other empty parking spaces available. Not sure when you’re going to be having parking issues? On the other hand the 2-3 Costcos near us in SoCal were always a huge parking challenge, and all were same distance as Clermont from freeways. Same with our closest TJ’s, but that was mainly due to the parking lot being too small for the number of businesses in that shopping center. We now sometimes shop at the Dr. Phillips TJ’s after a Disney day, which is about 15-20 minutes from Epcot. Never any parking problems there.
