Are you ready?

President Donald Trump will be in Orlando on Tuesday, where he will announce his 2020 re-election campaign at a rally at the Amway Center. The entertainment venue can hold about 20,000 people. Trump tweeted Monday that his campaign had already issued 100,000 "tickets." Actual entry to event is on a first-come, first-served basis among the ticket holders.

USA TODAY Network coverage will begin at 8 a.m. Tuesday and will be updated continually throughout the day. You can watch the president's speech live at floridatoday.com.

This will be Trump's first campaign event in Orlando since he ended his 2016 presidential campaign with a "Thank You Tour" stop at the Central Florida Fairgrounds. He previously held a rally at Orlando Melbourne International Airport.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the rally.

Doors to the Amway Center open at 4 p.m. Tuesday, and the event starts at 8 p.m.

A ticket does not guarantee

Anyone interested in attending the rally can register for tickets, however, a ticket does not guarantee entry to the event, according to Trump 2020 campaign National Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.

“Orlando rally entry is on a first-come, first -serve basis, so a ticket doesn’t necessarily guarantee entry," McEnany said in a statement to FLORIDA TODAY.

Campaign security and U.S. Secret Service will close the entrance once the building reaches capacity, according to the Amway Center.

"There will be screens outside the venue to watch the rally once capacity is reached,” McEnany said in her statement, which also noted that a "Trump tailgater" would be held outside starting at 10 a.m.

Weather

The National Weather Service in Melbourne is calling for afternoon high temperatures in the upper 80s in Orlando on Tuesday, with humidity pushing the heat index past 90 degrees.

What’s more, there’s a 70% chance of thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon. While storms might be a welcome break from the heat, the National Weather Service warns they can bring heavy rain, gusty winds and dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning. Rainfall totals between one and three inches are expected. Scattered thunderstorms will begin rolling into the Orlando area after noon and could continue well into the evening hours.

Standing in those long lines

In response to the concerns raised by seniors and people with disabilities, a Trump campaign official responded that the Amway Center is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

"The campaign staff will also make a concerted effort to bring folks with ADA needs to a separate entrance to help with smooth entry," they said.

Judy Pelon, a 73-year-old retiree of Leesburg, is a veteran of Trump rallies. (Orlando will be her third.) Some advice to other seniors and people with disabilities? She recalls her first rally in 2016 seeing then-candidate Trump. She waited for hours in the sun. "You have to be prepared," she said.

"Here's the problem that I see: you need umbrellas. You need those things, but they don't let you walk in with those things. We're going to have to have things that you just throw away."

Beyond an umbrella, Pelon recommends plenty of sunscreen, snacks and water, as well as a foam cooler with ice packs that can be used to cool yourself down.

Baby Trump balloon

FLORIDA TODAY news partner News 6 reported that after crowdsourcing the $3,500 needed to transport and set up a 20-foot diaper-wearing balloon with a likeness to Trump, the balloon will be at a protest Tuesday during the president's visit.

The balloon will be at a Win with Love Rally near the Stonewall Bar on Church Street from 5 to 7 p.m. (details below).

A GoFundMe online fundraiser raised $3,900 in one day to bring the blimp art installation to the counterprotest.

"WE DID IT! BABY TRUMP IS COMING TO ORLANDO!" the group wrote on the GoFundMe page Sunday.

The orange-tinted balloon has appeared in cities around the world in conjunction with previous presidential visits, including London for the president's U.K. state visit and at the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin, Ireland.

Protests planned

Thousands of protesters are expected to descend on downtown Orlando, and there will be several events for them to choose from.

"Win With Love" rally from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Stonewall Bar, 741 West Church St.

"Hate, division, and greed have no place in Florida,” said Christopher J. Cuevas, Orlando resident and one of the "Win With Love" organizers.

Latinos United for Respeto will gather at 4 p.m. at Lake Eola before the Love rally.

"Bring your flags and anti-Trump signs. Stay for our candlelight vigil in honor of the thousands of Puerto Rican lives lost after Hurricane Maria due to the inaction of the Trump administration," according to an announcement on Eventbrite.com.

Organizers of both rallies have published strict guidelines to would-be attendees, including, banning backpacks, masks, and sticks for banners and signs. They also ask that protesters refrain from engaging in verbal exchanges with opposition protesters and avoid violence at all costs.
