From the cape you just need to get on the Beeline(528-toll road) and head West to the Sea world Exit on International Drive. make a left on International Drive and follow the signs to the entrance. You actually will drive past the first street that goes by the parking lots and go to the stop light on the corner. Make a right and you will get to the entrance. If you do make a mistake and turn at the first sign for SW which is for buses and taxis, I think. Don't panic, just go past the hotels and parking lots to the corner turn left at the stoplight and go in the main entrance that way.

Tolls on 528 are $1.00, !.25, and maybe $1.50 at some. You go through 4 before you get to SW exit. You can get a temporary prepaid Sun pass at some grocery stores(Publix and CVS stores. It is so much quicker not to have to go through the cash toll lines. Probably have to activate an account on a computer though. Not sure how the little ones work.

Let me expand a little bit here.
Take the 528 as mentioned to exit 1 which is International Drive. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left and proceed 2 traffic lights to Central Florida Parkway and turn left.The main entrance is about 1/2 mile or so down the road. Cant miss it. Has a big statue of the Whales and the BEC eagle on the lawn.

Dont bother with the prepaid sunpass. If you buy it and activiate it before noon, it will become active after 4pm.If afternoon, then 6am the next morn. Thats from the sunpass site.

To go from Sea World to the Contemporary, as you exit the parking lot, turn left, and proceed to Central Florida Parkway and turn right. Stay in the left lane as this will take you on to I4. Get off at the Epcot exit,(I want to say this is exit 75ish not sure on the number.Its the second exit you will come to.First is 535/Lake Buena Vista) and get in the left lane. That will be Epcot Center Drive. As you pass the Epcot parking entrance, the road will open from 1 lane to 2, get in the right lane, and take the MK exit. This will put you on World drive. Stay to the right and go thru the farthest right open toll lane. Then get all the way oer to the right, and stay there. You will pass the MK parking lot, TTC, go under a waterbridge, and the light after the waterbridge is the Contemporary entrance on the right.

Actually, you do need to make a right turn at the stoplight on International Drive to get onto Central Florida Parkway to get to the entrance. Making a left gets you out into the Williamsburg subdivision I think.

And at night sometimes you are not allowed to make a left turn onto Sea Harbour Drive from the parking lot. Either go up to the stoplight at International Drive and make a right turn and get back out to Central Florida Parkway that way.
