Coming into WDW under the main welcome entrance

[ajwolfe]

So the last few times we have driven down MapQuest has taken us different crazy ways. Last time we came in past a bunch of warehouses and such and it was less than a magical entry lol.

What is the road that we need to be on that comes in under the main entrance?


Thanks!!

There are a couple of those signs.

World Drive
Epcot Center Dr (just before Buena Vista Dr) when exiting off Interstate 4

The main gate entrance off of World Drive is what you are referring to. If you are staying at Coronado Springs (based on your signature), I would recommend coming in from Western Way. There is also a Welcome to Walt Disney World sign, just smaller (see pic below). There is MUCH less traffic coming in this way, since it's more of a back road into the resort area versus taking you directly to the park.

Awesome!! That's what I needed to know. The directions this time are showing it would take us on Western Way so glad to know we will come by at least one of the signs.
Last time the only way we could really tell we were on Disney property was the road signage changing over lol. It was so strange.

Weird. Not sure why it put my response to you in my quote. lol

If you come in via 417, take Exit 3. That will go by Gaylord Palms then into the main entrance sign.
