We will be flying into Orlando International Airport in March, renting a car there, and driving to the villa we're renting at Emerald Island Resort. Last time we were in Orlando we flew into Sanford Airport instead, so I'm not familiar with driving directions from MCO. Does anyone have any suggestions for the fastest route from MCO to Emerald Island (which is off Formosa Gardens Blvd.)?

Thanks very much for your help,

You can go north via the 528 onto the I4 and then onto the 192 west but we prefer taking the south exit via the 417 to the 192 west.

Follow the signs from the airport to the south exit. Once you are off airport you will see the turn for the 417. Follow this to exit 3. Turn right after the toll booth and then take a left at the lights (you will go past the Gaylord Palms Hotel). Follow that road to a T junction with the 192 (There is a publics there if you want to stop for groceries and a Logans Roadhouse Diner).

Turn right on the 192. Follow that road until you see Formosa Gardens Blvd - you will make a Left at the lights there. (There is the Magic Mining Company and Mini Golf on the RH side, Red Lobster on the LH side just before the lights).

Drive up Formosa Gardens Blvd to the stop sign, turn right. Go under the bridge and then look for the dolphin fountains and the entrance to Emerald Island on the left.
