Sanford Airport to Champions Gate

[NickClark]

Could someone please confirm that the directions below are correct to get from Sanford Airport to Champions Gate.


From Sanford Airport
You will need about $6 for the toll road
Follow the exit signs and carry on this road until you see signs for the 417 SOUTH. Turn left onto the 417 South (GREENWAY), stay on this road and follow sign for 'Area attractions'. The Greeneway will meet I-4 and continue on toward the signs, which read Tampa (west). At exit 58 leave the I-4. This is Champions Gates.

Thank You

Those directions are correct Nick. It'll take you about an hour. If you follow the signs to Tampa on the Greeneway you can't help but end up on I-4 and then it's about 4 miles down to junction 58. This is the way that I send all of my guests who arrive at Sanford.

Yes, I can confirm that these are the correct directions.

Thank You very much Carla for your speedy reply.

If you wanted to avoid the tolls you can follow Lake Mary Boulevard from Sanford Airport direct to the I4 - then take west to Tampa as your instructions tell you to

I have never used the toll, jusy straight down the I4. Does not seem to take much longer.

That all depends on what time you land at Sanford, Dom. The I-4 up around Orlando itself can get very backed up with rush hour traffic, so driving along it any time from around 4pm to 7pm you have to take pot luck and hope that it will be alright, whereas the 417 is under used at all times.

We always choose 417 even from MCO, much quieter especially if you are jet lagged or unfamiliar with driving on Florida roads.

The Greeneway (417) is definitely the best route. The last time we used the 417 it cost $7 in toll fees. Apart from being quieter than the I-4 it is much more scenic.
