You're going to have to deal with traffic in that area, especially at that time of day, no matter how you approach. Just be patient, use your best judgement, try to minimize land changes as much as possible, and most importantly watch out for the other drivers because they will NOT be watching out for you, at all, except to take advantage of a chance to change lanes suddenly. I lived in that area for 17 years and had to traverse I-4 as part of my 1 hour each way commute. You should be fine as long as your are patient and prepared for people to do stupid things.
