Directions from Sanford to Downtown Disney?

[labdogs42]

Where can I find good driving directions from Sanford Airport to Downtown Disney? I don't know the address of either place to plug into Google maps or mapquest and half the time, those sites don't give the actual BEST directions, KWIM? Anyone know a better place to get them? Thanks!

You can use the Sanford airport code for start , then use Downtown Disney Marketplace (1780 e buena Vista Drive Orlando) for end in Mapquest. We used Toll 417 two weeks ago to get from Sanford to Hwy 192 and it was great, just bring lots of change.

Yes, just follow the exit road out of SFB a couple miles until you get to the junction of TOLL 417 (Seminole Expressway in Seminole County/Central Florida Greeneway in Orange County) and head southbound on the 417.

It takes you around the east side of Orlando, wraps around Orlando International Airport (MCO) and right in to the Disney area. Where you would exit the 417 would depend where in the Disney area you're headed.

I believe there are 5 mainline toll plazas between Sanford Airport and State Road 536, where you'd probably get off at. The northern most plaza is $2.00 followed by two plazas at $.50 followed by two plazas at $1.00. Total: $5.00

If you want to travel to Disney for free stay on the exit road which becomes Lake Mary Blvd and after many traffic lights you get to I-4, which you would take westbound towards Orlando and Tampa. This road is prone to congestion but it is free.
