Best route to parks from Kissimmee hotel

[Steven41782]

We are going to stay at Best Western Saratoga Villages located at 4787 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy...

We haven't stayed offsite in a while and wanted to know if we should take Apopka Vineland and World Center Drive into the theme parks or Hwy 192 and World Drive?

Any secrets or shortcuts to cut out on stoplights or traffic from this area?

Thanks.

I would avoid any part of 192 that I can. From where you are going to be I'd suggest 192 to 535 to Osceola Parkway to World Drive. Either that or 192 to 535 to 536 (Epcot Center Drive).

536 actually turns into Epcot Center Dr before eventually dumping you on to World Dr past Epcot.

from your resort, take 535 to Osceola Parkway - depending on where you are going, Osceola will take you directly to World Drive, where you can access all Disney Parks - the Animal Kingdom is at the western end of Osceola Parkway.

My second home is in Celebration - 192 (Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy) is a local road with traffic & lights. Osceola Parkway, while a toll road, is a breeze. If you are on vacation and want to get to the Disney parks, resorts & shopping quickly - take Osceola and stay off 192.

If you are curious and have a lot of time to kill and want to see some local color, take 192 - it will also take you to World Drive .
