Is there a reliable shuttle from TV to MCO?

Any highway tips to/from TV to MCO. Exits to avoid? Tangled intersections of highway where you might miss an important turn off?

Park and fly lots. Any that you recommend? Are they safe or is it worth it to park at the airport? Any tips or suggestions for parking?

Anything else you'd like to recommend for a trip to MCO?

Thanks!!
I've flown in and out of MCO at least 50 times in the past 12 years, probably more.

Depending on how long of a trip you will be gone, short trips, I'd just park at MCO. The break even comes about day 4 and for me, anything 6 days or less, I just drive and park in the daily.

7 days or more, I get a car service, door to door both directions. There are a number of them, I use Wheels up. I've tried the other services(Groome, Village airport van, etc.) and they will all get you there, but the hassle and cost savings isn't enough of an advantage as far as I'm concerned.

As far as getting to the airport in a car, use Waze(my choice) or google maps. Either will get you there and route you around traffic if possible.

Essentially you take 301, 27/441 or Meggison to the turnpike, some miles to 528 and follow the signs to Jeff Fuqua blvd into the terminals.
