There are pros and cons to each airport:

Orlando International Airport:

	Very high level of customer satisfaction
	Much closer to the Disney Resorts etc.
	Two stage clearance of the airport
	Slower immigration / security and car pick-up times

Sanford:

	Faster Clearance of security and immigration and car collection
	Much further away from the resorts

Most people seem to think that, despite its extra distance form the resorts, and indeed holiday villas, Sanford's faster clearance times more than make up for the extra drive and you should be at least 30 minutes in hand overall!

For details of flight times etc to and from the airport, link to the airports and search for flights on the days you are interested in.

DO NOT leave flight booking until the last minute. Popular flight times get booked up very early indeed. Don't assume you will get a cheap flight late on - you might just end up missing your preferred departure date!
