Distance between WDW and Busch Gardens?

[Iott Family]

Could someone please tell me the driving distance/time between these two parks? Easy peasy driving directions? Thanks!

I'd say it's about an hour and twenty minutes. As for directions, I don't have them right at hand, but try grabbing an address from their website and use mapquest, I find them quite helpful on directions, but they tend to overestimate the time. I remember it wasn't very hard to get there at all.

From EI it took us less then 1 hour each time. Maybe another 15 min. from Disney. You will love it we had a great time.

Busch Gardens Directions
I4 to I 75 to Off at Fowler, go a few miles till you are in front of University of So. Florida, make a left onto McKinley

Overall, it is about 65 miles depending upon what part of Disney property you start from.

These directions from where Epcot Center Drive (Route 536) intersects with I-4:
Take I-4 West toward Tampa for about 58 miles to I-75, exit 9.
Go North on I-75 for about 3 miles to exit 265 (East Fowler Ave).
Turn left (west) at the end of the exit ramp.
Continue about 4 miles and turn left (south) onto North 40th Street (there will be signs to Busch Gardens).
The parking lot is about a mile on the left.

If you go when there's no traffic from Disney the drive is probably just under an hour.With some traffic 1 hr 15 minutes.Take I-4 west to Tampa,when you get to I-75 take it north for like 4 miles,get off at exit 265(Fowler ave.)take that west for a couple of miles,you'll pass MOSI on your left and the University 0f South Florida on your right,pretty much as you see the main entrance of USF on your right you'll turn left onto Mckinley which will lead you to the entrance!!

Detailor, did you enjoy Saratoga springs? We are off there next week after Universal.
I am trying to decide whether to do BG from Saratoga or to have a couple of nights at St petes, thinking tradewinds or Don cesar. Anyone stayed there? Is it worth moving for a couple of nights or shall we just stay at Saratoga and do the journey to the coast.
