How long a drive to Clearwater for day trip?

[BC]

We have been to Clearwater before and my husband loves it. He is not the Disney nut I am, so I thought if he was good enough to take me to Disney for 10 days, I could give one of them up for him to go to Clearwater. I am guessing it is about a 2 hr drive. Has anyone made this trip from Orlando before?

If traffic is okay to Tampa, you might be there in about 2 hours, but I'd count on a bit longer, due to traffic/construction delays.

I live in Clearwater and it has never taken longer than 2 hours to make it from home to WDW even with traffic and construction delays. It usually takes even less time on the way back. HTH Enjoy visiting our beautiful city!

What is the fastest route or is there just one way? We want to stop at the Red Lobster for lunch that is located at the Courtney Campbell causeway (I think that is right) on our way to the beach. If you could give me directions, that would be great
