I Getting to Orlando
By AirTwo airports
Orlando International (MCO)
The main gateway and the closest major airport — about 20–25 miles from Paradiso Grande (roughly 30–40 minutes by car). Nearly every airline flies here, so it's the easiest choice for most of the family.
Orlando Sanford International (SFB) is a smaller alternative to the north, served mainly by Allegiant. It can be cheaper but sits about an hour away — factor in the extra drive.

By CarRoad trip
Driving In
Orlando sits at the crossroads of I-4, Florida's Turnpike, and I-95 (via the coast). If you're driving down, the resort is easy to reach off I-4 and SR-528 (the Beachline). Build in extra time for Central Florida traffic around theme-park exits, especially mid-afternoon.

Uber & Lyft
Both operate at MCO with dedicated pickup zones — follow the signs for rideshare once you have your bags. Expect roughly $45–$70 to the resort depending on time of day and surge. Great if you don't plan to leave the resort much.

Good to KnowTips
✦ Traveler's Tips
A few things to make the trip smoother.
Central Florida is hot and humid in June — pack light, breathable clothes and sunscreen. Tolls are common on the Turnpike and SR-528, so a rental with a toll transponder (or a handful of cash) saves hassle. And whatever you drive, the resort address in your maps app is your best friend on arrival day.
