How long Cypress to Universal?

[runwad]

How long of a drive is it from Cypress Pointe to Universal? What other condos would you recommend if planning lots of time at Universal? TIA

It's about 10-15 mins., a straight shot down I-4.

Or you can take the Palm Parkway/Turkey Lake Road route and avoid all the expressway traffic. 3 turns. 15 minutes at the most. I-4 isn't the best route unless traffic is unusually light.

Can you give more specific directions? I'm going to relay this to my sister who has never been. We found a good deal on a Cypress Pointe Condo and they want to take advantage of the Universal $85/pp ticket for 7 days...I just don't know any other condos that are maybe closer to Universal to suggest.

Take the back exit from Cypress Pointe. Left on to Vinings Way (right if you're exiting from Grande Villas). Turn Right on Lake St. At the stop sign turn left. Thats Palm Parkway (it runs parallel to I-4) which becomes Turkey Lake Road (no turn needed). About 5 miles later (about 7 stop lights if I'm counting right) on your right is the entrance to Universal - Hollywood Way. On a light traffic day I've made it in 8 minutes. But usually you'll miss a light or two so figure 12-15 minutes. it is a direct shot and except for the intersection at Turkey Lake and Sand Lake Rd traffic is usually very light on the whole route.
