Route from MCO to Bradenton - Opinions

[krissyh]

Flying into MCO and immediately driving over to Bradenton.

Google Maps says to take FL528 to I-4
Mapquest says to take FL417 to I-4

Once I hit I-4 I know where I'm going (used to live in B'ton) but wonder if anyone has opinions/reasons on one of these over the other?

Both will work. I'd suggest the 417 route because there won't be any traffic issues on that stretch of road.

I will be doing this in Feb as we will be staying in Bradenton for 3 nights. I will be interested in any answers.

When you leave the airport take the south exit and then get on 417 south to Kissimmee and this will merge into I - 4 . This way has less traffic.
Or if you take the north exit you go to 528 west and merge into I-4.
Either way will put you on I-4. We like the south exit and 417.
