If you can get the address where you're going to be staying you can do a google search on google maps.
Start at SFB for Sanford Airport. This is by far the easiest way for me.

thanks paula :D
how about hiring a sat nav? if you get one from the car hire link above they come pre programme with places to visit, the parks shopping malls ect and they can also put in your villa details so you just need to hit that home button on arrival and it will take you to direct to your villa
i do have a link for a good map that i can pm you with (cannot post in on here) let me know if you want it[msnsmile]
As well as hiring sat-nav, you will get a map from the car hire company. All the discount coupon books have a map of some sort in them.

If you are renting a villa the owner will send directions with your villa pack after the final balance payment.
Google maps are good and so are other online maps. As mentioned in the posts above, if you are a little apprehensive about directions hiring a Sat Nav is a good option[msnsmile]

Go onto an online map resource which will give you your route once you enter your departure and arrival address.
Good luck

Tell whoever you are staying with for detailed instructions. If it is a villa owner they will be only too happy to help!

Most villa owners send maps and detailed descriptions on how to get to their villa with plenty of tips on landmarks to watch for. They will also give you a contact, say their management service, who will also be able to help once you are there should you need additional directions.
WE have just returned from Kissimmee and flew into Sanford.
On arrival go to immigration, collect your luggage, go through customs then car hire.(only drivers allowed in) Very straight forward and easy.
Ask at the desk for a free map.
Leave airport by the only main exit, at bottom of airport road turn right and follow signs to A417 SOUTH.
Please have low dollar bills for the few tolls (under $20)
You may also require a few 25c coins for the unmanned bins when you leave the A417 at Boggy Creek, Landstar Blvd or Orange Blossom Trail (Depending on where you are staying in Kissimmee)We were off Osceola Parkway.
Remember the road sigs you see are the roads you are crossing not the roads you are on.
Hope this helps?

Hi
We use [website link edited] to do route planners for the USA.
We have always used them to travel all over Florida.
Last year we hired a Sat Nav when we were in Miami,it was just as well. We found the traffic quite busy,and a bit mad,to say the least,[msnscared] so it was just as well two of us had an eye on the road.

log on to kissimmee 192, it gives directions in pictures and video as well as maps to international drive,all the parks and ALL the villa locations and they can be printed off from Sandford,orlando int ect.
each maps can be highlighted to show a smaller section in detail, it gives the road name/number and the exit you require for your villa location or park.
If you have a hire car then just ask them for a map, not a problem, signed posted well. Dont forget a few dollars for your toll road. Also just ask the villa owner for directions, these are usually in your villa pack, or your travel agent if in a hotel.
Have a fab time
