Turnpike to AKV ?

[Poohs Pal]

How do I get to Animal Kingdom Lodge from the turnpike without taking I-4.
Dson will be traveling I-75 from the north to Florida Turnpike then to AKV. Is there a way to avoid the turnpike also. It seems to me many many years ago coming in on the opposite side of disney which may bring him to AKV. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance Susan

Yep,

I-75 S

Get off at exit 328 (approximately 140 miles from Georgia/Florida State Line, approximately 107 miles from I-10)

Travel on Florida Turnpike to Exit 267A (429S) (approximately 42 miles)

Travel on 429S to Exit 8 (Disney World/Hartzog Rd) (approximately 14 miles)

This road will take you to West Buena Vista Dr near Coronado Springs.

Turn right if going to All-Stars or Animal Kingdom Lodge (or Villas), turn left if going anywhere else, then follow the Disney signs to your destination.

Tolls on the main Turnpike will be $2.50 for a standard vehicle. (More if pulling a trailer).

Tolls on 429S to Disney World will be just $1.25 as the Disney World Exit doesn't appear to charge a toll.

(I based the mileage on the exit numbers as they coincide with mile markers).

If I might add one small thing, when you get off at exit 8 this puts you on Western Way. It is a nice open road and you would think you can do 50 - 55 on it. It starts off with a 45 mph speed limit and once you cross the bridge it drops to 35 mph. The sheriff loves to sit in this area where it drops and write speeding tickets.
Please be careful, you don't want to start your vacation off with a ticket.
