Drive time to parks?

We are staying at Holiday Inn Orange Lake. To make rope drop, how much time should we plan for travel time to the parks? Going at Christmas.

What parks? The Orlando parks are very spread out!

50 min to an hour for MK, 10 - 15 for AK, and 15 - 20 to DHS, 20 plus to Epcot. Universal parks 30 plus depending on I 4 traffic

Just now reading this other post. Why so long to get to MK? Are you including the monorail/ferry to the gate?

According to Bing Maps, the travel time between the Orange Lake entrance to the Magic Kingdom Toll Plaza is 14 minutes without traffic:

Based on that, I'd say the 50-60 minutes estimate does include parking and ferry/monorail transit time.
