For those who drive to Disney...

[Surfinpiratee]

Would you put in the resorts exact address in the GPS? Or just Walt Disney world? I want to make sure yo go underneath the Disney arch!


Thank you

I generally put in the exact address, that being said once you get to Orlando the signs are pretty good at pointing you in the right direction.

It all depend which resort you are staying at. You don't necessarily go through it for them all. If you want to make sure you see it the coordinates for it are " 28°21'49"N 81°31'50"W ". If you can put them in your GPS it will take you to it then you could set it to take you to your resort. The Arch is on EPCOT center drive just off RT 4 heading towards EPCOT.

Hope this helps

It might help if you told us where you were coming from and which resort.

Off the top of my head though there is really only one road you could remotely wind up on that doesn't have an arch when you get to WDW property. That would be Sherberth Road if going to AKL from the western section of 192.

THE Disney Arch? There are several.

There are Disney entrance arches on World Drive, Osceola Parkway, Epcot Center Drive, and Western Way. There is a formal entrance to WDW on Hotel Plaza Drive, but without an actual arch.

The size of the arch depends on the width of the road. World Drive has the most monumental entrance. Osceola Parkway and Epcot Center Drive have arches that are similar to each other. The arch on Western Way is not as wide, but it's nicely landscaped and looks good.

Any of the four arches should provide the experience you're looking for.

There are a number of obscure roads heading into WDW (primarily serving backstage areas), but if you're arriving from north or south of WDW on I-4 or the Western Beltway, it's almost a certainty that your GPS will have go under one of the arches. (As OKW Lover noted, the one exception might be if you're coming from west of WDW on Florida 192 headed to Animal Kingdom Lodge.)

We are driving for the first time and I'd love help! We are never able to get a good picture of the 'arch' from the ME bus. We are staying at ASSp this time. Thanks!
