Area & Villa Information
We have put together some information from our own experience, which we believe you may find of use to you during your stay in on Watersong Resort. However, if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help you out.
Fastest Route from Airport by Car
The best way we have found with the least amount of traffic is down the Central Florida Greeneway (Toll 417). It's a toll road, but worth every penny, especially after a long flight.
From Orlando International (MCO) (less than $5 in tolls) head for the 417 SOUTH. From Sanford International, also head for the 417 SOUTH (less than $10 in tolls). Stay on the 417 toll road which eventually merges into the I4 West to Tampa - take exit 58 onto SR 532 East. At junction with S Old Lake Wilson Road, turn right follow road south to Ronald Reagan Parkway where you turn left. At the end of this road turn right onto S Orange Blossom Trail (US17) heading south. Watersong Resort is less than 2 miles on the US17 on the left hand side.
Getting Around Without A Rental Car
We strongly recommend that you have a rental car if you are staying on Watersong Resort as there are no shuttles - an alternative would be Florida Transport.
Florida Transport offer an amazing private transfer service - they can pick you up from the airport and take you to the villa and even stop off for you buy some essential groceries before taking you to your villa. They also offer a taxi service to take you to theme parks, beaches, shopping, nights out etc....
If you don't want to drive on the day you arrive but want a hire car from the day after, they can also cater for this as well - please click here to view more details of Florida Transport services
Taxi's & Shuttles
Alternatively, we also recommend UBER who are considerably cheaper and more reliable than your typical taxi companies. UBER provides great & friendly service at an affordable cost for families who do not plan on driving during their vacation.
Download the UBER app on your phone and then requesting a suitable vehicle is dead easy, convenient and affordable.
