TOLL ROADS/SUN PASS
There are plenty of toll roads in the area.
Be careful because there are some tolls that do not have toll collectors or machines to take your money.
That means you’re not paying? Hardly.
You have the option of purchasing a Sun Pass at various locations/stores. You put the Sun Pass sticker or device inside your car windshield, and you are charged the normal rate electronically on toll roads.
If you do not purchase Sun Pass, then the cameras at the toll check point automatically photograph your license plate as you drive through and then you are charged more via mail.
If you are renting a car, ask the car rental place about Sun Pass and how they handle that expense.
Some toll roads give you the option of using Sun Pass or cash at the tool booths, but read the signs, because it’s very easy to find yourself in the wrong lane, and then there’s no turning back at that point.
A good resource for this, click InfoOnSunPass

AROUND CAMPING WORLD STADIUM (CITRUS BOWL STADIUM)
Not much around Camping World Stadium (Citrus Bowl Stadium), but there is Lake Lorna Doone Park across the street, if you want to bring some subs and/or picnic or tailgate early. That park will operate as usual, and the football fields there will be used for regular parking operations as is for every major event at the stadium. Plenty of parking at the stadium, too, but spots are selling fast pre-paid. No ramps. Just wide open lots.

AMUSING THINGS TO DO

GERMAN PRETZELS and MORE
Denny Gruendner, a big NXT fan and master baker from Germany, is the owner of Euro Bake World in Winter Gardens, about 10 miles from Camping World Stadium.
Euro Bake World is part of the fabulous Plant St. Market, which includes the Crooked Can Brewing Company.
Gruendner specializes in pretzels, pastries, breads and rolls. They are authentic artisan baked goods -- homemade and handmade -- with no preservatives.

OPEN 24 HOURS
Looking for food late night/early morning, Denny’s and I-Hop are open 24 hours, seven days a week.
Convenience store 7-Eleven is also on that same schedule.
That begs the question. Why do they have a lock on the door?
