I'm from Wichita (hubby is from McPherson) and we drove to Kansas just a short while back. The shortest route is Tulsa, Little Rock, Memphis, Birmingham, US280 from Birmingham to Tifton, GA then south on I-75 to The Villages.
A more scenic route, but about 3 hours longer, is Wichita to Dallas, Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Mobile, Tallahassee, Gainesville, The Villages. On the return trip, we took the scenic route and stopped in New Orleans via I-10 out of Baton Rouge, Gulf Shores AL (a little off the beaten track), then on to The Villages. Nice drive and a couple mini vacations on the way.
It's a long drive so take your time and stay safe.
