The first (MCO-Pop) and third (Pop-Dolphin) look fine, I have used them a lot. The second is fine except I am not sure of exactly which exit is best for Universal Studios. Things have changed near Universal in the past few years. One exit off of I-4 is for Turkey Lake, that exit works but is the long way. At least skip that one and go on to the next.

all of them look fine. There are large signs on I-4 leading to Universal that will tell you where to go. I 'think' that we took an exit 74B when we were there last week...but it says right on the exit sign that it is for Universal Studios...both Islands of Adventure and the Studios share the same parking garage.

Have fun!

I think the tolls on 528 are fifty cents and seventy-five cents.
There are no tolls on I-4

One thing to remember when you go from POP to the Dolphin - Epcot Resorts Blvd is an unusual road, that crosses Buena Vista *twice*. You want the second intersection, which means you don't turn at the intersection where the gas station sits, but the one where you'll see the mini-golf course.

(Taking the first turn will still get you to the Dolphin, it just happens to be a little longer, and the hotel will be on your left, after passing the Yacht Club, instead of your right.)

I prefer to take the Central Florida Greeneway (417) from the airport to WDW. From the airport you want the SOUTH exit - then take 417 south towards Tampa. I usually exit at State Road 536 to go to the Swan/Dolphin, but to go to Pop Century you would go one more exit to Osceola Blvd. - then follow signs to Pop. Watch out - there's an unmanned toll booth there, so make sure you have some change!

Like Nancy, I prefer to stay off I-4 and use 417.

So instead of first directions listed from airport to resort, try these directions listed below? (courtesy of allearsnet.com)

Directions from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Disney's Pop Century Resort:

Take the south exit from the airport marked SR417. Follow the signs for the South Exit from the airport to pick up SR417 South (also called the Central Florida GreeneWay) towards Disney World. You will go through two tolls ($1.00 each). You will see a sign for Walt Disney World at exit 6 but you will go past it and stay on SR417 until you come to exit 3 (Osceola Parkway). There is a 50 cent exact change only toll at the exit.

Take a right at the end of the offramp and follow that straight. Take a right at the first set of traffic lights after passing under the Walt Disney World arch. This is Victory Way. The entrance to Pop Century Resort will be on your right.

If you need a grocery stop before arriving at Pop Century Resort:

Option 1:
Follow the above directions for leaving the airport and picking up SR417. Get off at exit 11 (South Orange Blossom Trail). NOTE: There is a 50-cent tollbooth at this exit that only accepts exact change so be prepared. Turn left at the bottom of the exit ramp. There is an Albertson's (open until 1:00 am) about 1/10 of a mile up and a Winn Dixie (open until midnight) about 4/10 of a mile up. If you turn right at the bottom of the exit ramp, there is a SuperTarget (open until 9:00pm Sundays and 11:00 pm every other day) a short ways down.
When finished shopping, get back on SR417 South and continue using the directions above.

Option 2:
Once you get on Osceola Parkway as described above, turn left at your first set of traffic lights (International Drive South - Gaylord Palms will be on your left). There will be a Publix about a half mile down on the left. When finished, simply take International Drive South back to the Osceola Parkway and turn left. Continue with directions above.

(Does anyone have a preference on a grocery stop too?) Thanks again!

option #2 for Publix and the airport directions via 417 are wayyy better then 528 and 4
