Best route from MCO to Sheraton Vistana Resort

[mzspaz]

I've plugged the addresses in to Mapquest and it gives me 3 possible routes to get to the Sheraton Vistana Resort from MCO.

1 - 528 W
2 - 417
3 - Combination of 417 and Osceola Parkway.

Time wise they don't seem to make much of a difference according to Mapquest but I would like some opinions from those in the know.

We will be arriving on a Saturday evening and would like to make 1 stop to pick up dinner and some groceries.

What would you recommend?

Thanks!!

Love the Vistana Resort! From the Orlando Airport, take 417 to the 535/536 exit. It will turn into World Center drive. Stay to the right & turn right onto 535. Vistana resort is on rt 535 (you will turn right onto 535) on the left hand side of the road.

We normally get groceries at the Publix near the outlet mall. Go up International Drive (from front of resort turn right onto 535- stay to left, turn left onto World Center Drive, left on International, left on Vineland - grocery is in shopping center on right). Traffic can be crazy around the outlet mall so we try to stay away from the mall in the late afternoon/evening.

Lots of restauarants in the area. We actually ate last trip at a small Chinese restaurant around the corner from Publix. It was basic good cheap Chinese food - & we had no wait to eat. If you like Sushi, there is also a sushi place there. We also like to pick up a roasted chicken or other quick prepared foods from Publix for our first night.

I'd suggest 417 to exit 6. From there I'd take a right onto International Drive and go to the Publix a mile or two up on the left (behind the Walgreens) for groceries.

From there you can either; retrace your route back to Buena Vista Drive and then right at the lights to 535 and Vistana will be on your left, or you can go down Vineland Ave (the street the Publix is on) to 535, turn left and then watch for Vistana on your right.
