Best route to Saratoga Springs from MCO with a grocery stop at Publix or similar store

[WDWorld2003]

Looking for the best route to Saratoga Springs from MCO with a grocery stop at Publix or similar store. We prefer to avoid I 4

Use the South exit to 417 (toll), take exit 6 to International Drive. North (right turn) on International Drive to Vineland Ave. Left at Vineland and then right into the parking lot for the Publix at Regency Village.

Leaving the store, turn right on Vineland to FL 535. Right on FL 535, then left at Hotel Plaza Blvd. Follow Hotel Plaza Blvd. to East Buena Vista Drive. Right at the junction with East Buena Vista Drive, then left at Disney Vacation Club Way. Finally, left into Saratoga Springs. The turn for DVC Way can be tricky, since there is no light or stop sign when approaching the turn on East Buena Vista Drive. There is a left turn lane.

From MCO you can head south towards State Route 417, and then head westward on 417 until you get to Epcot Center Dr E. From there, you make a right onto E Buena Vista Dr, and shazam, Saratoga Springs without the eyesore that is I-4!

Note: there will be a Publix at Hunter's Creek from your left so you can add your Publix stop in.

Using this route, note that you exit 417 at John Young Parkway, head south to the Hunter’s Creek Publix, and then do the reverse to reenter 417.
