PS
Other short cuts are available. Going away from HR if you turn right about half way up WB on to Funie Steed Road you'll pass Sunset Lakes and Emerald Isle then hit a four way at Formosa Gardens Bvd. Turn left to the 192 and the "famous" Sherberth short cut. Well it was 10 years ago but now busier that the M25. Don't be tempted to go straight over FGB on FSR. First half mile is newly surfaced then you have a few hundred yards of basically potholes. May even be considered as driving on an unmade road for the purposes of your car Ts & Cs. Our local Dibbers highways correspondent DonnaD has also said that it may be closed for major roadworks. Mick

Message for Mick! Thanks for the info on wawa, I’m staying at highlands reserve in October too so this thread has been great! Mick you’re always a wealth of knowledge, wonder if I can ask you something? From highlands reserve, which is the easiest/quickest/safest route to universal (we don’t do Disney 😳 we went in 2017 staying at West Haven, and the I4 was horrific then, no doubt it’s worse due to all the new builds that we’re going on around that time.
Any tips greatly appreciated!

Sorry big fail - haven't been to Universal since 2007 and I guess we used I-4 then. Google maps may help

Thanks for that. If the green is the proposed detour I think we'd stick to Livingstone if need to get over to North Old Lake Wilson. Maybe just stick to the Walmart at Cagan Crossings though.

Oh god is that the bit of the road that everyone refers to as the bit not to use because of the car insurance? I've always been a bit confused never even realised you could go straight over at that junction! hahaha how bad. We always go down onto the 192 and the route is shows on the map. Going straight over does look quicker!

Yes it's basically the bit of FSR across the front of the new Westgate development and yes I have over a few years on here suggested (just my opinion) that it may be considered to be "unmade" which many hire company's Ts & Cs suggest is not allowed. Anyway true to my own advice I did drive down it a couple of times in April in daylight and truthfully it is awful. You couldn't drive in a straight line keeping to the correct side of the road - more like a slalom course but having to avoid the oncoming traffic.
Depends where you're heading though. If you want Sherberth just turn left at FGB and follow the green to Red Lobster. If you want the "new" Walmart turn right on FGB up to Livingstone. Turn left and that takes you to North Old Lake Wilson Mick
