Default Re: Commute to Orlando?

Earlier this year, I commuted to a job in Winter Park, FL (north Orlando) which took me no less than 1 hour 20 minutes each way. I left from the north end of the Villages (CR 42) to 301S to Wildwood where I took the turnpike then onto 408 and then I-4 N for 3 exits. I tried every which way including 441/27 as well as turnpike to other exits....nothing was faster than turnpike, 408, and then exiting. It does depend where you need to go in Orlando, but I was fairly central.
I normally left at 6-6:15 am to arrive by 8 ish. If there was traffic on the turnpike....no great alternatives.
