We will be arriving to All Star Movies after a night at the Drury Inn near Universal and I need help with what way we should come in so that we can see the Disney World entrance sign! You know the big one you drive under and you instantly feel the magic? I need to drive under that because my kiddos who are non-verbal know that as a cue that we are now at Disney World and they will be so excited!
 
Okay, there's three ways you can do this.
First, the long traditional way: get on I-4 heading west towards Tampa. Take exit 62 towards Disney World. That is the main World Drive entrance.
Second, the alternative to the first way: get on I-4 heading west towards Tampa. Take exit 64 for US-192. Then take the exit for Magic Kingdom/Hollywood Studios. That will put you on World Drive before the welcome sign.

Third, the other welcome sign: get on I-4 heading west towards Tampa. Take exit 63 for Osceola Parkway west. That will take you under a similar welcome sign, and then the exit for All-Stars is 3 exits past it.

(you're welcome to double check my routing on google maps.

There’s one off of exit 67 as well.
 
...and there's the Western Way entrance from the Flamingo Road/Rt 429 area that takes you alongside Coronado Springs and goes into W. Buena Vista Drive.

There's another one at the beginning of Hotel Plaza Road, off Rt 535, near where 535 goes under I4. [Hotel Plaza Road goes directly to DS]

There's several. Isn't the only way you don't see one to come in the back way, from behind MK? Trying to remember all the ways we've come in and that seems to be the only one I can recall not seeing a sign

I would NOT recommend this one. The OP is going to All Star, detouring into hotel plaza blvd/DS would be a very bad idea as this area is extremely congested and also note that this entrance is not as impressive as the others listed by pp, this entrance does not have an archway and is in front of a congested traffic intersection.

....:scratchin...yes...true....I didn't realize that the OP was going to the AS resorts....

From exit 67, labeled Epcot and also 536, it has been kind of convoluted to get to the All Stars or to Magic Kingdom.

After going under the Disney entrance arch, you will pass a group of exit ramps (Disney Springs, Buena Vista), then you need to get into the leftmost lane. where you will bear left. (The right lanes loop around to go directly to Epcot.)

Next you will see the exit on the right for MK, or keep going straight for World Drive south. This takes you to Osceola Pkwy. for All Stars and Animal Kingdom.
