Best I-95 south to FW via I-4 on a saturday morning

[jima53]

We will be travelling next saturday morning to FW for our first visit. Any tips and directions as to how, and where to exit for the best access to FW. I have read somone said to stay on the right not the left when going through the entrance plaza, or am I wrong on this because you have to make a quick right turn for FW. Will be travelling from Jacksonville.

Thanks
Jim

I would take I-95 to to I-4 to 417 all the way to disney. There are some tolls on the 417 but there is much less traffic. If you get off at exit 6 and keep going straight youll end up by downtown disney and epcot but you can just follow the signs to take you right to fort wilderness.

Definitely stay to the right at the entrance plaza. The far right lane is for Disney buses only. The next one or two will work fine. You have to stay right after the plaza and make the first right turn. I would also take 417, it's worth it to me.

We've taken 417 all the way around twice and found it to add about 30 mins to our travel time. If you're leaving early Sat morning, you won't be dealing with normal weekly rush hour traffic on I-4, so I would just drive straight through. We usually take our chances on I-4 and keep an eye on traffic signs re: accidents or delays. If we hear about troubles on 4, then we take 417.

We are also from Jax and are leaving tomorrow afternoon! We may not hit the city until 4ish, so this may be another 417 trip.

However, if you are towing a trailer, I probably would avoid 4 right now with the construction and take 417.

We also go the "back" way down Bonnet Creek Pkwy, which takes you past POFQ and POR before turning left towards FW. This is easier to us than going through the entrance plaza.

Definetly go 417....We come from Jax also and 417 has been a much better route. The tolls are no big deal anyway since your going to WDW...what is another pocket full of change lol!!!!

Have fun!!!! We will be there turkey weekend!!!!
