What's the BEST way to get to WDW from Sanford Airport?

[Zoo Keeper]

I have been doing a lot of research on transportation from and to the Sanford Airport to and from the Wilderness Lodge. Right now I'm not sure which way to go.
Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you driving a rental car? If so, take the Greeneway SR-417 to either exit 6 and then follow the signs to WDW.

More specifically, from the Sandord Airport, go about 3 miles on Lake Mary Blvd. to SR-417South. Go through 5 tolls, I believe $4.50 total. Take Exit 6 (International Drive/SR 536) and go straight, passing over I-4. You go under the WDW Welcome arch and continue on what becomes Epcot Center Drive. Move to the far left lane and follow signs to the Magic Kingdom.

As you get to the Magic Kingdom parking drive to the rightmost gates to pay. Tell the parking attendant that you are going to check in at the Wilderness Lodge and they will send you through.
Stay to the right and when the single lane becomes multiple lane, stay to the right. Turn right at the next traffic light and that will take you to the Wilderness Lodge.

You can always go to Deb Will's AllEarsNet.com (aka as the WDWIG) and get directions from Orlando International, Orlando Sanford and Tampa International to any Disney resort. As a bonus, it also gives suggested grocery stops along the way if you are so inclined to use them.

We used Tiffany - probably cheaper to rent a car, but I log many miles to/from work so it's worth it to us (especially me) to have a vacation from driving! So towncars are another option...

Right now it looks like to rent a car it would be about $325 (including tax) since we will be there 9 days.
A towncar will be around $180.00.

I was wondering if anyone got a better deal and from where?
And if there were other options?

Thanks
