Animal Kingdom GPS address

[Martyap]

Does anyone know the gps address for AK?
551 N Rainforest Rd is not coming up?.....

Or is it pretty easy to get to by car from PORFQ?

Can't help you with a GPS address but AK is very easy to find just by following the signs around Disney property.

You're better off just following the signs. Our GPS took us to a CM only entrance last trip. This trip we just followed the signs

I've actually had this page bookmarked for a while to try on our upcoming trip: http://www.mousesavers.com/using-auto-gps-at-walt-disney-world/#mspoicategories

Supposedly has all the addressed in there, so you just download it onto your GPS and have all the Disney locations. Again, I haven't tried it yet so I can't say whether its 100% correct, but could be worth a try!

Don't know the GPS address for AK, but I do know that when I tried to get to our rental home from another park, the GPS took us to AK! The CM said it happens all the time when people are trying to return via Sherberth road.

I have to agree with forgetting about the GPS on property as someone else said you end up at a CM only area where of course you are smiled at and politely told how to make the U-turn I have a friend that is a CM and this happens more often than you would think Especially near DHS

The signs on property are very visible and easy to follow

The key to using Sherbeth Rd when heading off WDW property is to bear left when approaching the AK. Make believe you're headed to AKL instead. Just turn left at the lights right after you've passed the AK parking turnoff.

Ask at POFQ for a driving map. The one they give out is really good and you'll find your way with no problem. It took us 6 minutes to drive door-to-door from POFQ to our Boma breakfast ADR.

That's what the CM told me. Now, I have stayed in that area enough times that my car knows exactly where to go

We downloaded this a couple of years ago and it works great.

I concur with other people about forgoing the GPS when driving around WDW. The roads are very well marked and it's pretty easy to get from place to place. The Disney directions might not always be the shortest, but it's normally the easiest. GPS instructions have been known to want folks to go onto backstage roads, restricted areas, etc. Also, the GPS instruction aren't always the same as the Disney routes, so if you try to merge the two, it can be confusing (I tried that once, learned my lesson!).

Road signs look like this:

As others have said, you can ask for driving map of WDW when you check-in or at the valet stand. It makes the main roads and is pretty easy to follow.

Agree with previous posters about keeping the GPS off when driving around the world. The signs are very easy to follow. I had all these directions printed out, plugged in the garmin, etc. last year. The only time we actually needed the GPS was getting to the outlet malls. It's even easier if you have a co-pilot to read the signs and tell you what lane to head toward!
