1st For Orlando Vacations is located at 8687 West Irlo Bronson
Memorial Hwy Suite 101, Kissimmee, Florida 34747 inside The Shoppes at Vista del Lago and is
open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm Saturday from 10am to 2pm.
From Sanford Airport we strongly recommend that you travel via
the Central Florida Greeneway (SR 417) following the signs for Kissimmee (Interstate 4 west will
also get you to your destination but it is very busy on the urban section passing through
Orlando and well worth avoiding after a long flight). Leave the airport and take Lake Mary
Boulevard for 2.8 miles this will take you to State Road 417 (Central Florida Greeneway) follow
this road until you see the signs for Celebration Avenue and Highway 192 (exit 2). This will
take you through six toll booths each costing between 50c and $2. This route will take you about
70 minutes.
From Orlando International Airport follow the signs to
Kissimmee this will take you to State Road 417 (Central Florida Greeneway) where you need to
head west towards Kissimmee and the Disney area. Follow this road until you see the signs for
Celebration Avenue and Highway 192 (exit 2). You will go through three toll booths each costing
between 50c and $1. This route will take about 30 minutes.
When passing through the toll booths use the green lanes marked "change and
receipts". The final toll booth on the Greeneway is unmanned and you will need 50c in loose
change to throw in the collection bin. When you leave the Greeneway you will turn right onto
Celebration Avenue and left onto Hwy192 at the intersection heading west.
Travel west down Hwy192 for about 5 miles passing several shops, restaurants and
hotels. You will pass Orange Lake Country Club on your right. Vista del Lago Boulevard is about
a mile on the right beyond Orange Lake Country Club and so you will need to be in the right lane
shortly after you pass Orange Lake. Look out for The Shoppes at Vista Del Lago on your right
hand side - approximately 200 yards.
If you find yourself on the Beachline Expressway don't worry. This road runs
between Interstate 4 and Cocoa Beach on the Atlantic Coast - you need to be heading towards I-4
not Cocoa Beach. Take I-4 west this will be signposted Tampa. Travel down I-4 until you reach
exit 64B signed 'Magic Kingdom / Hwy 192 West'. When you join Highway 192 west from Interstate 4
position yourself in the left lanes (or you will end up paying a very early visit to Disney
World!).
If you are Driving down to Florida the two main routes into
Florida are I-75 and I-95.
If you use I-95 then pick up I-4 at Daytona Beach and exit I-4 at 64B and follow
the directions above.
If you travel on I-75 then pick up the Florida Turnpike south of Ocala and then
take US27 south towards Clermont. About 10 miles south of Clermont you will see Hwy192,
signposted Disney. After about 2 miles on Hwy192 heading towards Disney you will see Vista Del
Lago Blvd on your left hand side. Take this road and turn right at the first stop sign.
From Miami International Airport take the Florida Turnpike all
the way to Kissimmee and exit the turnpike at Highway 192 following the signs for Disney World
and heading west. Stay on this road past the I-4 intersection and past the turning into Disney
World and follow the directions above to find The Shoppes at Vista Del Largo.
