417 joins I4 ( and ends on I4) so not sure how 417 would take you to Florida Pines although dont take my word for it, dont know where Florida Pines is !!

Hello
If your thinking of taking the 417 I assume your flying into Sanford rather than Orlando. The 417 is quicker especially at busy periods during the day and probably less stressful after a long flight since being a toll road there's far less traffic on it compared to I4. The tolls are only about $4 from Sanford.

Florida Pines is on the 27. Regardless of which airport you fly into I would use the 417, it is a much better road. If arriving at Orlando International take the south exit. Follow it to the end when it joins I-4. Turn west towards Tampa and turn off at the next junction #58. Go down the sliproad bear right, go under the Champion's Gate arches, and keep going until you reach a T junction. Turn right and carry on along this road to the traffic lights with a Walgreens on the corner. Turn right onto the 27 and Florida Pines is the fourth community (I think) on the left.
