Publix near OKW?

[Disfamoffour]

Does anyone know which Publix is closest to Old Key West? Do they all have the same selection or are some larger than others? Thanks for your help.

I believe the one on Vineland Ave might be a little closer than the one on S. International Dr by about 1/2 mile, but the traffic on Hotel Plaza Blvd, 535 and Vineland Ave, to get there can make it a longer ride.
I always use the one on S. International Dr.
To get there from OKW.
Take left out of resort
left on Bonnet Creek Pkwy
right on Buena Vista Dr
left on Victory Way
Left on Osceola Pkwy
right on S. International Dr (just passed Gaylord Palms resort)
store is .7 mile on left just passed overpass.

This is the one I go to. I avoid Hotel Plaza Blvd at all costs. Exit OKW turn left. Turn left on Bonnet Creek. Turn right on Buena Vista Drive. Turn right on Backstage Drive (opposite Chelonia Drive which goes to Bonnet Creek Resort) like you are going backstage Epcot. take the I-4 exit to the right. (You just made a big loop to get on Epcot Center Drive going away from Epcot) Go straight on World Center Drive toward airport. Turn left on International Drive (second I-Drive exit - that one is only right turn) just before the road takes you to Airport. Turn left on Regency Drive and you are there - it's on the right.

This is also a back way into the Premium Outlets and you avoid traffic on Vineland with all the timeshares there.

Regency Village Shopping Center (Store #00812) - Nice clean store, lots of good produce and bakery items.

I second Deb & Bill's choice. That's the Publix I use, and also the route I take to get there.

We have even done the discount card in the past at that Publix!

We foolishly asked the concierge at OKW which Publix was best to go to and they sent us to the Vineland one. It took FOREVER to take that left turn onto Vineland off of 535. I had the directions to go to the International Drive one but the CM insisted that the Vineland was so easy to get to.

Lesson learned: trust the Disboards.
