Distance WDW to WH, WP or BC?

[CattailGal]

Is there much difference in distance to the parks between WDW and Bonnet Creek and WDW to Windsor Palms or Windsor Hills? Stayed at BC last time but considering the others for this trip. Loved the convenience of BC.

TIA,

KC

I've stayed at all 3, and should be able to help. I'd say BC is closer to everything except perhaps Animal Kingdom, which is close to WH & WP. WH & WP are about a mile apart, but about the same distance to WDW. WH & WP would be about a 5 minute drive longer on average, I think. The main difference is that BC has much more of a resort feel to it, so if that's important to you, then you might not be happy with WH & WP.

For us, we don't use resort amenities and can get WH & WP for much less than BC, so that's likely where we'll be returning in the future.

We stayed at WH last time we went and it was very very easy to get to all the parks. Short driving distance.

It's tough to say, because WDW is big, and the different places are near different parts of WDW. Windsor Hills and Windsor Palms are closer to AK than anything except AKL. Bonnet Creek is by OKW, if you happen to have a WDW map. The easiest way to see how far things are is to look at a map, see where the parks are. If it's a map of just WDW, WH/WP are just south of AK. Bonnet Creek is near Exit 64 of I-4, by the Crossroads.

I will say, we just got back from a stay in WH--it was no more than a 10-min drive to any park, and the roads are clearly marked. If you look at a map, you'll see the I-4 runs (roughly) along the eastern border of WDW, then 192 along the southern border (again, roughly). For our sanity's sake, we preferred to drive within WDW as much as possible--it might not have been quicker, but it was easier on the blood pressure.
