The Orange County Convention Center lists just 4 hotels connected directly to its buildings, and the Hilton Orlando on Destination Parkway is one of them. That connection solves your walk to the show floor, and it leaves every other trip of the week to plan: the airport, dinner, a park night and the group moves in between.
I’ll take you through each one as a Hilton Orlando Convention Center transport plan, with the distances I measured on Google Maps in October 2026 and the flat rates we publish, so you know what each trip costs before you land.
How do you get around from the Hilton Orlando Convention Center?
You get around from the Hilton Orlando Convention Center on foot for the convention itself and by car for everything else: the airport, dinner and the parks. Every trip below starts at 6001 Destination Parkway, with the drive time I measured at midday and our one-way price where we publish one, so your Hilton Orlando Convention Center transport plan fits on one page.
| Trip from the Hilton | Distance | Drive | Orlux, one way |

| MCO airport | 12.1 mi | 16 min | $111 sedan |
| Convention center | Connected | Walk | Not needed |
| Pointe Orlando | 1.3 mi | 6 min | Quoted |
| Restaurant Row | 4.3 mi | 12 min | Quoted |
| Universal Orlando | 5.0 mi | 14 min | $132 sedan |
| Disney Springs | 7.1 mi | 17 min | Quoted |
How do you get from MCO to the Hilton Orlando?
The drive from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to the Hilton Orlando is 12.1 miles, about 16 minutes on SR-528 (Beachline Expressway) when I measured it at midday. With Orlux, that run costs $111 in a Luxury Sedan, $145 in a Luxury SUV, and $175 in a Van for up to 10, with the tolls included.
For a team, our 14-Passenger Van costs $378 for up to 14 people, which is $27 each when you fill it. Round trips are priced on their own: $221 for the Luxury Sedan and $720 for the 14-Passenger Van, with your return booked on the same confirmation.
Your chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you at baggage claim with your name, so the 16 minutes start at the curb rather than in a rideshare line. Our page on Orlando airport transfers shows how pickups work at each MCO terminal, and the airport leg is the easiest piece of Hilton Orlando Convention Center transport to lock down early.
How do you reach the convention center from the Hilton Orlando?
You reach the convention center from the Hilton Orlando without a car, because the OCCC lists the Hilton among the four hotels connected directly to its buildings, alongside Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and the Hyatt Regency Orlando. Check which building your event uses before day one, since the OCCC spreads across a West Building and a North-South Building.
The OCCC’s own FAQ gives the addresses: 9800 International Drive for the West Building, 9400 Universal Boulevard for the North Building and 9899 International Drive for the South Building. Inside, there are 8 food courts, four in each building, so you can eat lunch without leaving the show. The OCCC also has more than 2 million square feet of exhibit space, so even with a direct connection, the walk from your room to a booth at the far end of a hall can take a while; comfortable shoes are part of the plan.
Colleagues staying elsewhere pay to park: the OCCC lists parking at $22 plus tax, and the rate can change by event. If your team is split between hotels, one van run in the morning is simpler for you than four cars hunting for spaces.
Where can Hilton Orlando guests eat without a long drive?
Hilton Orlando guests can eat at Pointe Orlando, 1.3 miles up International Drive and about 6 minutes by car, or drive 12 minutes to Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road for the dressier steak and seafood rooms. Pointe Orlando is a 29-minute walk, which is a lot for you in business clothes on a warm Florida evening.
Pointe Orlando lists The Capital Grille, The Oceanaire Seafood Room, Maggiano’s Little Italy, Taverna Opa and Cuba Libre among its restaurants, so your client dinner and your team night out both fit. The Capital Grille and The Oceanaire sit at Pointe Orlando on International Drive, not on Sand Lake Road, which some older guides get wrong.
Our guide to restaurants near the Orlando convention center maps the walkable options in more detail, and our convention center hotels guide compares the Hilton with its neighbors.
How do you move a conference group from the Hilton to dinner?
Move a conference group to dinner in one vehicle with a set pickup time, so everyone arrives together and leaves together. For a short hop like Pointe Orlando, two flat legs usually work; for an evening with drinks first and dinner second, an hourly booking keeps your vehicle and chauffeur with you between stops.
A group of 12 fits one 14-Passenger Van with room to spare, and a group of 30 needs three. We quote these local runs per group, because short hops inside the convention district sit outside our published routes. I’d set the return pickup 15 minutes after your reservation ends, since client dinners rarely finish on the dot.
Our convention center van service covers group runs between the OCCC hotels, the airport and dinner, which keeps your Hilton Orlando Convention Center transport with one company for the whole week.
Can you get to Universal or Disney Springs from the Hilton Orlando?
You can reach Universal Orlando in about 14 minutes and Disney Springs in about 17 from the Hilton Orlando: 5.0 miles to Universal and 7.1 to Disney Springs when I measured them. With Orlux, a Universal run costs $132 in a Luxury Sedan, $162 in a Luxury SUV, $163 in a Van and $391 in the 14-Passenger Van.
Disney Springs is the easy evening out when your conference day ends early: shops, restaurants and no park ticket needed. We quote Disney Springs runs from the Hilton per group, and a round trip with a set return time keeps your night simple.
If you’re adding park days after the show, book them as separate trips from your hotel, because the convention district sits between the Universal and Disney resort areas rather than inside either one. Price each park leg as its own piece of your Hilton Orlando Convention Center transport, and you won’t be surprised by the second half of the trip.
How did one event planner move 40 attendees through the Hilton Orlando?
Rafael Montoya moved 40 attendees through the Hilton Orlando in three airport waves and one off-site dinner, without a single rideshare. He’s a corporate event planner from Dallas, and his team’s flights landed at Orlando International Airport (MCO) across one Monday afternoon, which is where our part of the week began.
Mr. Montoya booked three of our 14-Passenger Vans from MCO, timed to the three biggest flight clusters, at $378 each, or $27 a person for full vans. Each wave reached the Hilton about a quarter of an hour after leaving the curb, and the bags stayed in the vans until the bell desk.
On Tuesday night, the same three vans took the whole group 1.3 miles to Pointe Orlando for a private dinner, waited by the hour and had everyone back by 10 p.m. For the rest of the week, his attendees walked to the show through the hotel’s connection to the OCCC, and yours would too: that’s the part of Hilton Orlando Convention Center transport nobody has to book.
