choice of hotel

[motofox4]

I'm not sure if this has been asked before or not, but I'm trying to decide on which hotel to stay at. We're staying outside Disney and I'm not sure if it's a closer drive to the Disney parks from International Drive or Irlo Bronson Memorial Parkway. Does anyone know which is closer?

Irlo Bronson Memorial Parkway.

this is also called US 192.

see where it says "wide world of sports" - that is US 192 underneath it.

now some of US 192 is much closer - back door to AK. just depends upon where you are located - this is a fairly long road.

Definetly 192- Irlo Bronson. Unless your hotel winds you up all the way down at the far end by the Walmart---then traffic might take you almost as long.

The southern end of I-Drive isn't so bad, but the northern end can have some pretty awful traffic. One the other hand, 192 is HUGE---there are some places to the far west or east of property that will take you a while to travel to/from.

192 is a bit more tourist-trappy, but a good location there is probably a faster commute than a good location on I-drive. A bad location on either will be unpleasant.
