we've been fighting the Lakeland to WDW construction coming from Tampa on the weekends. Can anyone recommend a different route around the construction that the new 192 area mess has created?
coasterphil said:When is construction on I-4 scheduled to be over? I ask because on our next Disney trip either late this year or next year will probably include a trip to BGT to ride Shiekra and I definitely don't want to deal with that mess.
Lokheed said:Coming that route (27 to 192 to World Drive) the only construction you will hit on 192 is where the new overpass is going in for the 417.
wait.. in a way their is a route to take to get to orlando using SR 54.....nbarney said:I live in Bartow and usually take State road 17 through Haines City and Davenport to SR 54. Following other backroads I come out on the Disney property at Animal Kingdom. It takes me 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic. That is also my shortcut to the House of Blues. I know some Disney Castmembers who use that route to avoid 27, I-4, and 192.

SummerInFL said:We actually voted on a bullet train from Tampa to Orlando and it was approved but then when people saw how much it was going to cost us to make it, they "revisited" the idea the next vote around. At that time it was then denied. It's sad really because I was in love with this idea, no more traffic to my favorite place AND I wouldn't be the one doing the driving.
d_gil said:Hi all,
i am not from the u.s.a and i plan a trip to orlando/tampa this september.
i read and heard about the i-4 conditions but did not know it was THAT bad.
my plan is to drive from universal studios at the 15th of september (THU)
to tampa BG erea in the late afternoon/evening.
stay at la quinta inn for 3 nights and head out of tampa on the 18th (SUN) straight to kennedy centre early in the morning.
How early should i get out of tampa ?
is the traffic not as bad in the early morning hours??
if i leave universal/orlando at around 17:00 or 18:00 , am i going to get stuck for hours on the road ?!?
After reading this post i think i better do the ride from orlando to tampa by train - i guess amtrak has a way of getting there?
Do i have to take the i-4 to get from tampa to kennedy centre?
(take note im not likley to go through small side roads and stuff because im not from the erea and want to stick to more common roads...)
any help would be welcomed!
thanks in advance,
Gil
TomDisney said:My past couple of trips over, I've taken SR 60 to US 27 to avoid the I-4 mess. Milagewise it definately is longer and there is construction (GASP!) on US 27, but for the most part, I kept moving pretty well most of the way. And I took this route on a Sunday late morning/early afternoon. Now, I just need to find a good route around to get me from US 27 to WDW without hitting I-4 or 192!
