I need the best and least amount of traffic directions From Orlando Airport to Formosa Gardens Estates. (417 or 528?) From FGE to WDW. And FGE to Discovery Cove/ Seaworld. Also, How long is it from Seaworld to the Airport? Thanks !!

We usually take the south exit from the airport and use 417 ( less traffic ). Take exit 2 for Celebration and go up to 192 and turn left and go until you get to Formosa Gardens Blvd. intersection (about 4 miles) near mile marker 4 and turn left and after less than 1 mile turn into FG (left).
FG to WDW: Take FG Blvd up to 192 and turn right (east) and take 192 to the exits for Disney or you can go east on 192 to the lights for Sherberth road( I think it's the first set) and turn left and take Sherbert to the first set of lights and turn right ( your right beside AK ) and follow the signs for whichever park. When you come back follow the signs for Ak and then AKLodge when you get closer and turn left at the Sherberth intersection and then right onto 192 and go back to the FG intersection.
FG to SeaWorld turn right onto 192 from FG Blvd. and go to the I - 4 intersection and head for Orlando. From I-4 just follow the signs for SW, usually 528. It would take you about 10 - 15 min.
From SW to the airport it would be about 20 -25 min. using 528,depending on traffic, probably allow 30 min.
On 417 there's two $1 tolls (manned booths) and a 50 cent exit toll ( not manned so you need the exact change).
528 is toll also but I don't know the exact amounts.

The 417 is definitely the better route with far less traffic, although the tolls are slightly higher.

As sympatico has said you can come off at exit 2, or you can continue on 417 until the end and head west to tampa on the I4, come off on the first junction which is the 429 and leave at the 1st junction.

At the intersection turn right and then immediately left down connection road.
Just keep driving down that road until you come to Formosa Gardens on the right.

The latter route is further, but there is only one set of traffic lights, so it will be quicker. Just a warning though there is no Formosa Gardens sign that is easily visable from approaching community from the south, and you can be nearly past the turn before you see it. Its quite simple though as its the next turn on the right after Livingston Road.

Hope this helps
