Best route to WDW from Ritz/Grande Lakes?

[Kitty-chan]

I just found out that DH is going to a conference at Grande Lakes Orlando in less than a month! And so of course DS and I are tagging along.

Looking at Mapquest, it seems like the best route to WDW is to head up S John Young Parkway to the 528, and take that to I-4 (since that'll let us avoid I-Drive traffic). Does anybody know whether this is in fact the best route? Any suggestions are very welcome!

(I really honestly can't believe my luck here . . . somebody pinch me!!)

I would just go right past Sea World on Central Florida Parkway straight to I-4 West and over to Disney. IMHO


good luck, Ted

I agree with Grandpa Ted, take Central Florida Parkway. From Central FL Pkwy., it might be even quicker to just turn left onto International Drive and then right onto World Drive. (Despite I-Drive's reputation, traffic is very light this far south). Not sure if that or I-4 would be faster, probably much the same either way.

Just ask the bellman....

The service at this hotel was WONDERFUL. I bet they have maps and directions all ready to go.... This hotel put everything on the Disney property to SHAME! LOL! I loved it!

Thanks for all the awesome advice!! I love the DISboards, there's always somebody who knows what I need to learn.
