Windsor Palms was great and it has the advantage of the back way in to WDW. When you drive up to the 192 coming from Windsor Palms you take a right and get into the left lane right away to turn onto Sherberth Rd. I think it is the second left. It has a Suites Hotel on the corner. This road takes you up to the Osceola Pkwy right at the entrance to Animal Kingdom then you follow it along to access all the other parks.
Windsor Palms to AK parking lot 5 minutes
Windsor Palms to TTC 15 minutes
Windsor Palms to MGM 15 minutes
Windsor Palms to Downtown Disney 20 minutes.
We had a rental car and never used the 192 to the main entrance this was much slower. My DH and DS took a taxi home from MK once and it cost $30.00.
Would love to stay in a house in Windsor Palms again it was very relaxing and loved having our own pool. Even went to the Community Centre once and had fun at the pool there. Shopping is close by, a grocery store right at the corner of 192 but it was cheaper at the Publix just a little east on the 192.
There was a liquor store, Outback Steakhouse, Sushi restaurant, Pizza and a bunch of other shops at the corner of 192. This shopping was walkable if you were really athletic, it was about 1 3/4 miles. Any other questions I can answer we really liked the place.
