Hotels within walking distance to US/IOA

[WDW4ME]

What hotels are in acutal walking distance to US/IOA or very close and run a shuttle?

Also, looking for one that runs a shuttle to Disney World, as well.

Anyone ever stay at the Wellesley Inn?

Thanks!!

Have a do da day!

Any hotel in the Kirkman Rd/Major Blvd area is within walking distance (by my reckoning) although that can mean up to a 40 min walk.

The closest are Radisson Twin Towers, 351-1000, and the Holiday Inn, 351-3333. Both have shuttles.

The Delta Orlando Resort, 351-3340, is an older property but still very nice. It too has a shuttle.
Of the roughly 10 other hotels along Major Blvd, the only one with a shuttle is the new Sleep Inn, 363-1333.

My wife and i just got home from a trip to wdw and universal.While we were there we stayed at HRH for 3 nights and Holiday inn universal for 4 nights.We fell in love with the HRH but for only $99 a night we had a 1 bedroom suite with a micro wave refridge and dishwasher.It was a very nice room and a nice hotel.

Love Mickey,

So you had the 1 bedroom suite at the Holiday Inn Universal?

How did you get back and forth to the park?

Thanks!

We stayed at Wellesley Inn. Very nice king room, with fridge, microwave and data port, that was $49 per night in Sept '00. They had a free shuttle to IOA, Univ and SeaWorld.

We too stayed at the Holiday Inn, but there was no way I was walking to the parks...you have to cross a huge major intersection and then walk quite a way to the parks. If they have a shuttle use it, if you have a rental car, use it! That is a hefty walk, and think about how tired you'll be at the end of the day...
