What's the best way from MCO to Beach Club?

[WDW4us2006]

Sorry, tried to find this info on the other links. We have decided to rent a car instead of using DME. What's the best route from the airport (renting through Alamo) to the BC?

]I alway take the airports south exit to RT 417, take exit 6, World Center Dr. (SR536) first exit after the 2nd toll, follow directly into Disney. Then take 2nd right onto E. Buena Vista Dr. (EPCOT Resort Area).
Take right at Hess Station. Beach Club entrance approx 1/2 mile on left, you can't miss it.
There are 2 tolls each $1.25
Self parking is available for free or valet at $12/day
Have a great trip.

There are two basic routes from the airport to WDW; the north exit to the beach line to I-4 or the south exit to 417.

We prefer the south exit route because there is less traffic. Just follow the signs for the south exit when you leave the Alamo lot. Drive a couple of miles on that road and you'll see the signs for 417. Take 417 to exit 6 (two manned tolls, each $1.25) and essentially go straight on that road to WDW property. After going under the Disney welcome arches, take your second right. Turn right at your third set of lights (right after the hess station) and look for the BC on your left after you go under the water bridge.

Total time is about 30 minutes.

Out the north exit (436; Semoran), left at first light (Frontage), next light (Conway) take two quick lefts onto 528 (Beach Line) west. Watch for what looks like an exit ramp to take when paying toll in cash. On to I-4, go west (southwest). Take Epcot exit (536) west, go under the arches, take second exit. Right at the Boardwalk and Disney Hollywood Studios intersection.

And, if you take this route anytime between 3pm and 7pm on weekdays, prepare for a very very long ride. Traffic is terrible at those times, trust me, I live here.

Exactly.

417 is the way to go - simple and fast and there's never any real traffic.

Agreed!

Agreed!

And when you have a SunPass and can use the high-speed toll lanes, it's especially nice. I love-love-love the little beep of my transponder!

Thank you so much! This is great info and love the map. I seem to remember having turned right[/]into the Beach Club on previous trips, I must have taken a different route.
