How do I get from Westgate Town Center to Disney Parks?

[heffalump9]

I have been offered use of a timeshare at Westgate Town Center but am unsure how to go to and from the parks. Are cabs available and affordable? I have never driven in the Orlando area and I am a little shakey about renting a car plus I am spoiled by Disney Transportation and may opt to stay at the nearest Disney resort depending on cost. Thanks for your help!

I stayed at Westgaet Town Center back in 2002, and it couldn't be easier to get to WDW. We had a car, so I can't answer how much a taxi would be. By car it's only about 10 minutes into the Magic Kingdom, and less for Epcot, MGM, and Animal Kingdom. When you get out onto the "main drag", the exit into WDW is only mile or so down the road. Downtown Disney was longer to get to, but not bad. I like having a car better than disney transportation, but I don't like working off any schedule other than my own.
By the way, I loved the Westgate Town Center; it's the newest part of that Westgate complex, the rooms were incredible, and we didn't get the timershare push at all. It hard to go back to a Disney Resort after having the luxury of the condo.
