Drive time to Miami/Flights from WDW to Miami?

[2ndHnymnr]

Just playing around with an idea...but if anyone can clue me in on a quick/semi-cheap way to get to Miami that would be great!

Thanks

It depends on what your plans are. Are you visiting Miami for a few days? Will you be flying back home from Orlando? You could rent a car from Alamo which is onsite or from one of the Downtown Disney rental companies and drive to Miami which is four to five hours away. We're actually planning on renting a minivan through Alamo and driving to Miami for a stay of four days, then driving back to Orlando for our flight home.

Actually I only wanted to go for the day. My DH is a big Dolphin's fan and they open the season at home while we are at WDW. I was looking into possibly surprising him with tickets...but an eight hour round trip might be more than I want to get into.

I've actually done the drive from basically where Pro Player Stadium is located. My MIL lives in Aventura, FL which is approx 15 minutes east of Pro Player Stadium. We can make it to the gates of WDW in approx 3 hours 15 minutes give or take 10 minutes. To get there from WDW, exit WDW from throught the Osceola Parkway Exit towards Route 417 and the Florida Turnpike. Take Osceola Parkway to the Florida Turnpike and get on the Turnpike heading South. You will take the Turnpike to exit 2X (NW 199TH ST) towards the Stadium. You can't miss it from here. You're on the Turnpike for 247 miles. The speed limit is 70MPH, but most people drive 75MPH. At that speed, and no stops, you'd make it there in approx 3 1/2 hours. To get back to WDW, reverse the directions.
