Orlando to Daytona Beach
 
Could you please give me directions to get from Orlando Airport to Daytona Beach Shores. Also where is the best shopping in Daytona Beach. Could you please tell me where Snow White's Cottage is in Daytona Beach.

when you go out of the airport just take highway 4 and go east. it will take just about an hour but its all expressway so it really goes by quite quick. my mom and i did the drive last june while vacationing in orlando. dont know of any shopping places that are there becasue we went for daytona usa the auto racing place....if you like auto racing it is definetly the place you have to make time for. they even take you for a ride on the real race track.

Hi Judy!
If you're leaving directly from Orlando International
Airport and going to Daytona Beach,the time of day
has a lot to do with your route. If you'll be
traveling during the rush hours your best bet is to
take County Road 417. It's a fairly new road that
bypasses Orlando and brings you out to Sanford which
is east of Orlando. From there it's an easy ride to Daytona Beach on I-4. Exit will say State Road 92(International Speedway Boulevard). Just across
from the Daytona Beach International Speedway(on that very boulevard is Volusia Mall. It's the largest mall in the area. As for Snow White's Castle
I'm stumped. Maybe if you call the Daytona Beach
Visitor's Bureau at (904)255-0415 they should know.
Good Luck!
Ed

Take the tollway to I-4 eastbound (its a little over an hour non-rush hour) to Daytona. As far as shopping, one of the largest shopping malls in Florida is on your way to Daytona, its in Sanford and its called the Seminole Towne Center its about half way between Orlando and Daytona. If your set on shopping in Daytona, Volusia Mall is the place to hit (I used to live behind the mall. If your shopping for touristy items - the AIA strip is the place.

If you are in Daytona over a weekend you might want to shop at the Flea Market, it's open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It is in the area of Volusia Mall, kind of behind the Speedway, you can't miss it. They sell everything from used merchadise, to produce, to souvenirs, t-shirts, and the gadjets that they sell on TV. It is hard to describe the place as they have a little of everything. Also, don't forget to drive on the beach, I love that the most. If you need any special info, I can try to get it for you, my parents live in South Daytona.
