Driving directions from POR to Publix (and maybe Winn Dixie)

[whozit]

I've been reading that Publix (and maybe Winn Dixie) are good choices for grocery stops. I've also read that the directions on their websites can be kind of convoluted. Can anyone give me driving directions from POR to the Publix (if there is more than one nearby, is there one that is more convenient....even if it is slightly farther, but on a less crowded route?). Also, directions to a Winn Dixie....just in case.

We go to the Publix near AKL. I'm not local, but can tell you some simple directions.

Go towards the AKL. Once you reach the light in front of the AKL take a left. Follow that road to the end (maybe 1 mile) (You will pass the WDW maingate complex on the left--yellow buildings). You will come to a main road (maybe 192) and take a right. The publix is about 1 mile on the right. You'll see a sign. This area is not very congested so is easy to get to and from and the prices are good if not better than home. I believe there is now a Publix near the outlets (Little Lake Bryan outlets--not sure of the correct name), but that area near the Crossroads can be pretty congested. Maybe a local here can give you the actual street names. But is very easy to find.

When you exit out the main entrance of Riverside, take a LEFT. That's Bonnet Creek. Follow that till you can't go anymore. Take a LEFT onto Buena Vista Drive. Follow Buena Vista Drive past Downtown Disney, and onto Hotel Plaza Blvd. (New intersection complete, BVD flows straight into HPB)

When you get to the intersection of Hotel Plaza Blvd and 535, take a LEFT. Winn-Dixie will be about a mile on your right.

If you want to go to Publix, take a right instead. Publix will be about 4 miles on the left.

I personally recommend Winn-Dixie. That's where I did my shopping, before they built another Winn-Dixie even closer to where I live in the other direction. The prices are slightly lower, and the store is less crowded. (The Publix is too much of a touristy Publix)
