Driving Directions from Orlando Airport to Kissimmee
Most guests have GPS on their cell phones for driving directions from the airport to Kissimmee, but the GPS usually selects the fastest or shortest route. The route we post below is neither. It is slightly longer in distance and is a toll road, but the ease of the route is well worth the tolls to avoid congestion.
The I-4 interstate and Highway 192 can both be very congested at busy times. This route also lets you see all the restaurants and stores in the area close to the house.
The toll route will cost around $5. The last toll you go through is unmanned and costs $1 and only accepts coins, so make sure you have change if you don’t have toll payment activated in your rental car.
So here we go, Driving Directions from Orlando Airport:
Follow signs for the South Exit from Orlando Airport.
Continue along the South Access Road then follow the signs for Central Florida Greenway South 417 (SR-417). It is sign posted Walt Disney World.
Once you are actually on the 417 Toll Road, you can activate your GPS for easier navigation if you prefer.
Stay on the 417 for about 16 miles, to Exit 2, which is signposted for Celebration Ave to 192.
Once through the final toll, get into the right lane signposted To 192 and turn right.
Go straight across at the first traffic signal then get into the left lanes to turn left onto the US-192 Highway (also known as the Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway) at the third traffic signal.
Stay on the US-192 highway through 6 traffic signals. As you near our location, you’ll notice the area start to build up and gift shops shaped like mermaids, wizards and animals!
You’ll see Mile Marker 5.
As you approach the 7th traffic signal, you will see CiCi Pizza and Golf which looks like a huge rock with waterfalls on your right.
Get into the left two lanes to turn left at the next traffic signal into Formosa Garden Boulevard. You will see Red Lobster Restaurant on the left corner and TacoBell and Harley Davidson store on the right corner.
Once on Formosa Gardens Blvd you will see Formosa Village on your right which is home to a grocery store and several dining options.
A little further you’ll see Island Grove Wine Company on your left, just before a 4 way stop. (Make sure you make a complete stop here – the police are very strict and often hide). Go straight over.
Go straight for about quarter of a mile until you see Indian Creek on your right.
Turn right into Indian Creek and then take the first right which is Autumn Creek Circle and carry on to our home – 2672 – which is on your left.
