Fastest route from MCO to WDW w/ a stop at a store

[HoltDisney07]

Hey Everyone,

I am looking for opinions for the fastest route to WDW (AKL). We arrive on a Thursday about 3pm. I will also need to make a stop at a store for, bottled waters, beer and juice boxes. Anyone know if they sell Yuengling in FL?

Thanks!

Are you renting a car? Assuming so, we take the South exit from the airport and route 417 to exit 6. At the first light we turn right on International Drive and go a couple of miles to a Publix on the left.

If I were you I would proceed one more exit than the PP suggested, on 417 to exit 3 (yes it is the next exit after exit 6) you'll have to pay an additional $.50 toll at the exit.
Exit 3 is Osceola Pkwy the road that AKL is located on.

At the bottom of the ramp take a right, proceed to the next light, approx 1/4 mile (Gaylord Palms Resort will be just ahead on the left ) take a left at that light and there is a Publx approx 3/4 mile on the left just after the underpass.

After shopping leave the Publix the way you came, when you get to the light at Gaylord Palms (Osceola Pkwy) take a left and follow that road directly to AKL approx 5 miles, but a very quick drive.

I know that brand of beer is available in FL, as they serve it at Disney bars. Can't say for sure if the Publix has it though, there is also an attached liquer store at the Publix.

Thanks guys! I just wasn't sure if I should head north or south out of MCO. Looks like south it is to 417. I'll probably take exit 6 as it is more of a straight shot to AKL.

Thanks again!

Yuengling is available in Florida. It is bottled in PA and FL.

Actually exit 3 is a lot faster and a more direct route to AKL.
Off the exit take a right and it's a straight shot no turns and less lights.
Exit 6 will require more road changes and lights (Epcot World Dr to Buena Vista Dr to Osceola Pkwy), Whereas exit 3 puts you right onto Osceola Pkwy.

Check out Google Maps to see for yourself.
