MCO to Disney at Rush Hour? What to expect

[Chelle's Belles]

I'm looking at a flight that would get us into MCO around 5:30 p.m. Will we have horrible traffic on the way to Disney and be stuck on the highway for an hour? I'll be traveling with a toddler and a preschooler...

How far is it from the airport to the Park, anyway?

Thanks so much!

Take the south exit out of MCO to hwy 417. Signs will direct you where to exit. Do NOT take Beeline (hwy 528) to I-4. We have never run into a traffic jam on 417 but I-4 can be a real mess.

I agree with Jean. If you take the 417 there will be no traffic at all, barring a serious wreck, but that's 99% more likely to happen on the Beachline and I-4 than 417.

Ditto what Ducklite and jekjones1558 posted, its the ONLY way to go to WDW.

It's about a 25-35 minute drive from the airport to Disneyworld.
