I don't know why, but overpasses always concern me. I think the drive from KY to Disney will be no worries as far as overpasses go, but how about the drive from Disney to Destin? Mapquest has me starting off taking Hwy. 535 to Stoneybrook West Parkway, then onto 91, which turns into 75 North, then to I-10 West, exiting at 331, where I then know where I'm going.
Does this sound like the route I want to go? Anything unusual about this route that will make towing a TT a challenge? I see that I will be encountering some tolls along the way. Is there a special lane for taller vehicles, or does any lane work?
Hope these questions aren't too dumb, just wanting to have a great family vacation, that doesn't become a Griswold-esque disaster. Thanks so much!

That's very general, I know. I don't have the knowledge others have about your specific route options. But in general, you don't need to be overly worried about your height, but rather just keep aware of it. (Non-highway structures like gas station canopies or drive-through window structures are rather more frequently height constrained.)

If you can use any lane at a toll, and you know you have to bear left immediately after the toll (such as when entering a different road), try to use the left side toll lanes so you are already lined up for where you need to go after the toll.
Between now and your trip, when you are just driving around, imagine you are towing. How would you negotiate this or that intersection? When you see signs for upcoming road changes, which lane do you think would be better if you were towing?
Also, when you are close to leaving, make another thread in these forums asking about road conditions. Usually someone who just towed on those roads will respond letting you know what to expect (or to re-route your trip).
You'll be fine, the trip will go fine, and you will have fun!

I don't totally rely on a computer mapping service or GPS planned route without checking my Motor Carrier atlas. If the truckers won't use the route then neither will I. But then I'm dragging around a 41' 'condo' with real height concerns. You shouldn't have any trouble with yours.
Also, the toll roads in FL are a real PITA and I would try to avoid them - unless you like stopping every few miles and paying a disinterested toll-booth person.

I live in the Metro Orlando area. The route suggested to you by MapQuest is fine. Hwy 535 is all four lane road all the way. It is heavily traveled by locals during rush hour but easy in between. You can take 535 to Stoneybrooke Parkway then connect to Hwy 91 which is actually the Florida Turnpike.(Tolls Apply)The turnpike will connect you to I-75N which will get you to I-10.
One other option available to you from Ft. Wilderness is to connect to World Drive inside Disney and travel south to US 192 West then connect to 429N off of US 192.(Tolls Apply) This would by-pass all of Hwy 535 and Stoneybrook Parkway connecting you to the Florida Turnpike. This route would be somewhat quicker with less traffic. If I were choosing this would be my choice as it eliminates almost all local traffic and is virtually non stop other than tolls. Safe travels and enjoy!
