Quickest route MCO to WL

[laurabelle]

I need some expert help! My flight arrives at 7:05 p.m. on a Fri. We are going to Night of Joy, which starts at 7:30 (obviously we'll miss part of the night) and unfortunately we cannot fly in earlier than that. No checked bags, have Emerald Aisle car reserved, staying at WL. I usually take 417, but I'm wondering if that will be the quickest route that time of day...

Even at that time of the day I'd head south from the airport and take 417 to Osceola Pkwy. You will have the highest speeds and fewest lights taking that route.

417 to OP is a fast way from the airport, but you may run into traffic heading up World Drive to NOJ. I would recommend taking 417 to the exit just before OP, SR536 (World Center Drive). This road becomes Epcot Center Blvd as you go over I-4 and head into Disney. You will see an exit for DTD, then one for the Epcot Resorts, then a third one for Bonnet Creek Parkway and PO and OKW. Take this third exit. Turn left at the light and go past PO until the road dead ends at another traffic light. Turn left. This will take you past FW, and on to World Drive past the MK toll plaza (bypassing any traffic headed into NOJ). You will have to turn right onto World Drive, and WL will be on the right at the next light.

Thanks! I know exactly where you mean, just back from SSR. I'll follow your directions!
