When travelling to the attractions at Walt Disney World Resort, SR535 offers the most direct route, although there is the option of Osceola Parkway. For Universal Studios and SeaWorld, head north on Interstate 4 towards Orlando. Alternatively, take International Drive South for a backdoor route into both SeaWorld and the International Drive area. The Beachline Expressway SR528 is also accessible from Interstate 4 and is the best route for Orlando International airport, Kennedy Space Center and Cocoa Beach. For the Gulf coast and Busch Gardens, head south on Interstate 4 towards Tampa. For Legoland Florida, head south on highway US27 at the intersection with Interstate 4.

Driving distances are taken from Google Maps and reference a central starting point in the community. Drive times are also taken from Google Maps and are based on a 9.30am arrival time. When quoting distances to Walt Disney World Resort, these are not taken to the 'gates', but are representative of the actual distance to the specific attraction.
Like many routes that branch off of the US192 highway, Poinciana Boulevard provides the main thoroughfare between the theme parks, shops and restaurants to the established villa communities that border it. Head along it for a couple of miles and you feel like you are in the countryside. Recent widening improvements to the road and better street lighting now make this a more palatable drive and an excellent base for visitors to the area. South of the junction with Orange Blossom Trail is the approach to the city of Poinciana. This is very much the southern side of Kissimmee, with big houses and lots of conservation lakeland.
