What is the quickest route from Orlando Sanford International Airport down to Disney World Hotels?|133680

We are going to Disney Florida and flying with First Choice into Sanford International Airport. There seem to be a few possible routes does anyone know which is quickest? I don_t mind paying 4 tolls I just want to get there quickly! Also has anyone hired a car through first choice.. is pick up easy at Sanford etc? How much time would you allow to get to Disney from landing. Want to book a character meal 4 my daughter but land at bout 4pm... Thanks in advance!!

Personally the 417 (especially if it_s your first time to Orlando) is the way to go. We fly in from the UK and arrive in Sanford around 4pm, every time we_ve arrived, its taken around 1 hr from the plane to sitting in our vehicle...so the time is now 5pm and the locals are leaving work to go home!!!!!!!!!!!

Here_s one of our links straight from our website, if you go to
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%22SFB+to+Lake+Buena+Vista+32830%22_spn=0.4
this will supply you with the map and directions to the Disney area.

Just make sure you have around $10 dollars handy for the tolls....honestly its worth it, also it allows your driver time to acclimatise to the vehicle.

Your journey should take you around 1hr 15mins.

Hope this helps, if you require further information about Orlando please visit our family run website at http://www.sunkissed-orlando-holidays.com

Have a great time!

Take the 417 to the International Drive South exit (I think it_s junction 5) then straight ahead at the lights across the 535 onto the Disney lot.

It is possible to get through Sanford in 20 minutes from touch down to driving off in your hire car if you are lucky but you can_t rely on your plane being on time or there being no other hold ups

Also if you booked your car hire through 1st choice most other people on your flight are going to be in the same queue.

I wouldn_t recommend booking anything for the 1st night - you will only get stressed out if you get delayed . By the time you get to your hotel you will all just want to sleep.

Why not try to get a character breakfast for the next morning - you_ll all be up early and ready for a good meal by then...

VERY Easy to get from Sanford to Disney...it will be about 60 minutes driving time. There are lots of signs to point you in the direction of toll road 417. Take that westbound to Disney - again there will be signs that will say _disney next exit_ it will be about 5 or 6 tolls and each are about 50 cents to 75 cents and the closer to Disney you get the more big signs and ads you will see for attractions and thrill rides they have! :)
You shouldn_t have trouble picking up the rental car. I would book the character meal for about 7 or 8pm which I know will be _late_ for you but keep in mind it will be about an hour to get your luggage and car and then an hour driving time. If you can, try to book a dinner at one of the Disney resorts that night in advance because dining at Disney is very hard to do this time of year. The phone number to make that is 407-939-Dine. If dinner that night is too late for you try for a breakfast with the characters the following day.

The quickest route is the one through the tolls (417). Don_t think that going the other way (which takes you through Downtown (city centre) Orlando is best because its toll free. The tolls don_t slow you down, and the traffic is lighter and more fast moving on toll roads.

Collecting car hire at Sandford is really easy, you come out of the main terminal building and the car rental office (for all agencies) is right outside with the cars parked there too. You may have to queue for ages though, so send the driver on ahead to get the hire car sorted out while the rest of you catch up.

If you land at 4pm you will be lucky to get to Disney before 7pm. Then you would need to park your car and get to wherever the meal is. If its in one of the parks you will need to allow time to get from the parking lot into the park and then to the restaurant. Maybe better to book your character meal for the next day? Enjoy Orlando!

You need to allow a good hour drive from Sanford down to Disney. And I would also add in a good 1/2 hour to get your rental car.

The quickest route will be taking 417 (the Greenway toll road) to I-4.

Here is the link to mapquest. If you get the address of the airport and Sanford and then the address in Disney (your hotel or the character meal location) it will give you exact directions but 417 to I-4 is the way to go and I_m sure mapquest will tell you that.

Have a great time!

hello there i go with first choice every year not only because its cheap but its good service weve never had a problem. Although me and my partener dont driver we get a coach transport to our hotel on international drive it usually takes between 50 min to an hour depending on traffic if it is your first time then take the toll road trust me the first time can be pretty daunting we went with the family one year and nearly ended up killing each other lol! have a great time im going in ten weeks cant wait have a good un.

if your staying at a disney resort, disney will pick you and your luggage up for free, and bring you back at the end of your vacation for free.
