Driving Directions

 

Location

The Florida resort is located within its own cities of Bay Lake and Lake Buena Vista which are situated about 21 miles (34km) southwest of Orlando within southwestern Orange County and the remainder is in the adjacent Osceola Count. Access to the 25,000 acre site is from Central Florida's Interstate 4 via Exits 62B (World Drive), 64B (US 192 West), 65B (Osceola Parkway West), 67B (SR 536 West), and 68 (SR535 North), and Exit 8 on State Road 429 (Florida); the Western Expressway.


Driving Licence.

A UK driving licence is valid for use during brief visits to the USA. However, the new style UK driving licence consists of two parts which are both required when visiting the USA i.e. the photo card and the paper licence. It is strongly recommended that you take both parts of your licence with you on your visit should they be required when collecting your vehicle as you may be asked for them at for example Orlando Airport. The rental company may only ask to see the photo part but in the event they do ask for the paper part, which shows any endorsements registered, and you don't have it with you then you will not be allowed to drive - you may not be entitled to a refund either.

Without the paper licence you run the additional risk of problems in the event you are stopped by a Highway Patrol Officer and you are asked to produce it. It is a legal requirement in the USA to carry your full licence with you in the car at all times when driving and they may insist on seeing both parts.
