highway 429 entrance......hotels?

[punkin413]

i just learned about the new route to WDW from the florida turnpike through highway 429 (webster western beltway) where you get off on western way and enter WDW on the west side, connecting to buena vista drive. on our last trip we stayed at a cheap hotel on international drive ($38/night!) on the saturday night before the sunday we checked in at disney so we'd have a full day that sunday at disney w/out paying the disney prices that first night. we'll probably want to do something similar on our next trip. does anyone know if there are any hotels along highway 429 between the florida turnpike and western way?

thanks!!!

There are no hotels on 429. The closest you could get would be a hotel in Winter Garden just off 429 on highway 50 (Colonial Dr.), From H/W 50 south it is all highway and farm land.

thanks, edd! i was looking at a map on googlemaps and i kinda figured that, but thought i'd ask anyway! how far timewise is it from the highway 50/429 intersection area to WDW if you're taking 429?

It is about 20 minutes from Winter Garden to the Disney exit (8).

The hotels Edd is reffering to along SR50 just east of the junction of 429 and the Turnpike are 3 nice hotels: Red Roof Inn, Courtyard by Marriott and Best Western. All three would be listed with Ocoee, Florida addresses.

If you're interested in these, you'd exit the Turnpike at Exit# 267B " SR50 Ocoee" and then head east on SR50. All three hotels are on the left within the first mile. And then it's easy to go back west on SR50 and hop right onto TOLL 429 (Western Beltway) south to Disney.
