Location Question

Travelling from Formosa Gardens Estate in Kissimmee to Disney Parks, Universal and Seaworld.
How far is it ?
How much time should be allowed for travelling?

Thanks

Formosa Gardens is one of the closer resorts to Disney, although you can be on Disney property in 2 minutes it is about 5 minutes to AK using the Sherbeth road shortcut, 10 to 15 minutes to MK/Epcot/MGM depending on traffic.
I would allow 20 to 30 minutes to Sea World and Universal depending on what time of year you go. From Emerald Island which is almost next door to FG's we did Sea world in 15/20 minutes one day, then the next it took an age probably 45 minutes, it is not that far away its just the traffic.

Thanks Ben, I'll pass it on.

How close is the nearest store and is it open on a Sunday?

If you mean grocery shop, the closest will be Publix on west 192. Yes, it is open on Sunday, but not until 7:00 a.m.
There is also a Goodings in the small strip mall/shopping center that also has the Outback Restaurant. It is much more expensive than Publix and the quality of the food items is not as good, either.

From Formosa Gardens take a left on 192. Publix will be "just down the road" on your right.

Have a wonderful holiday!

The supermarket in Fomosa Shopping centre is Wynn Dixie rather than Goodings, and it will be open on a Sunday.

Thanks again.

Sunday will be their first chance to stock up on food and drink.
