I'm driving from MCO to POFQ and I've got 2 different sets of directions, one from Disney on my reservation paper, and from Deb's site. Does anyone know the best way to go? I'll be arriving Friday evening at 7:00.
Thanks!!!
 
I always use the south exit to 417. There's never much traffic. I'd go with Deb's directions:

>>>>Follow the signs for the South Exit from the airport to pick up SR417 South (also called the Central Florida GreeneWay) towards Disney World. Once on SR417, you'll have 2 toll plazas for $1 each. After the 2nd toll, take exit 6 (SR 536/International Drive). Go straight through two sets of traffic lights (first intersection will be International Drive; second will be SR535) which will put you on SR536. Continue straight on this road and go straight through the next set of lights. You will pass the Marriott Orlando World Center on the right and the Holiday Inn Family Suites on the left, then I-4.

Just after I-4, you'll pass under the WDW welcome arch and the road becomes Epcot Center Drive. Take the 3rd exit after the arch. The sign will say Port Orleans/Old Key West. Go left at the set of lights at the end of the exit ramp. This is Bonnet Creek Parkway. Stay in the right hand lane and continue straight through the next traffic light. The entrance to Port Orleans French Quarter will be the first resort on your right after the traffic light. Port Orleans Riverside will be a little further down also on the right<<<<<<

Yes, both directions have me taking 417(I've only driven on I-4, so this is all new to me) but from there they differ.

Deb has me going on 536 Epcot Center Dr Left On Bonnet Creek.

Disney has me going on Osceola to Right on Victory to Right on Buena Vista Left on Bonnet Creek.
 
Go with Deb's directions. I don't know why they would take you all the way around, plus their way would be more tolls going to the Osceola exit.

After I originally posted, I found the directions on Deb's site and edited my post.
 

Thanks Debbie! Deb's directions made more sense to me, Disney seems to be taking me on the grand circle tour! :earseek:
Here's a Mickey bar for your trouble... :mickeybar
