Here is your link to Old Town:

In Florida you can make a RIGHT turn on a RED LIGHT, only after you have come to a complete stop, looked both ways, and made sure it is safe to do so AND, there is no sign telling you NOT to make a right on red at that particular time of day or intersection in general. Other than that STOP at all red lights.

A 4 way is simply where two roads intersect so that all parties in all directions must come to a stop. The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.

Please know that traffic in Orlando is CRAZY. It would serve you well to plan your trips out from the area in hours that are off the rush hour grid. Rush hour is anytime from 8-9:30 a.m., noon time, and 4-6:00 p.m. Most business is open from 9-5 and the workers use I-4 and the connecting roads to go to work. If you can get out ahead of that and plan on heading back to the hotel after that you will spend less time in traffic. Even at that traffic is unpredictable in the area. They have large digital road signs that will warn you of traffic problems and give estimated times to make it through different points on I-4.

Make sure you have the newest possible road map/atlas as the roads are under constant change.

You will feel quite at home as Orlando is packed with people from all over the world that time of year.

We would be happy to have your family over for diner one night while you are here. We can take a spin in the cars, and you can tell us all about life across the pond. We need to at least meet up at Old Town.
