This is the only one even remotey close to WDW:
Marriott's Grande Vista, A Marriott Vacation Club Resort

Downtown to WDW is about half an hour in non-rush hour, an hour or more during rush or any traffic delay.

Lake Mary is way North of Orlando, and that one would be a solid hour or more each way, and if you are going during rush it could be closer to two.

Caribe Royale is close to WDW, very close.

Have you looked at Marriott World Center? Those are the closest Arriott properties to WDW, and very nice.

I get the feeling you don't know the area well, you might want to look at a map and get a feel for where things are before you plan anything more.

i know, i just realized that. Have you heard of Courtyard Orlando Lake Buena Vista in the Marriott Village, its supposed to be 1 mile from WDW resort.

Yes, it's all part of Marriott World Center, very close and convenient. I've never heard a bad thing about any of the Marriott brand properties there. It's about the same distance as Caribe Royale, they are within 1/4 mile or so of each other.

Probably the Courtyard only because I do Marriott Rewards.

There are actually two locations indicated here. Marriott Orlando World Center is a huge resort/convention hotel, and also has 3 Marriott timeshares on site: Sabal Palms, Royal Palms, and Imperial Palms. This is a very convenient location for WDW.
Marriott Village consists of 3 Marriott branded properties in a cluster: Spring Hill Suites, Fairfield Inn, and Courtyard. It's at I-4 and Fl 535, and close to Downtown Disney. It's convenient also, but in a more traffic congested area.
There also is a Courtyard in Lake Buena Vista. This is near Downtown Disney, and on the same side of I-4 as Downtown Disney.
There also is a Residence Inn by Marriott in Lake Buena Vista, just a little further down the street from the Courtyard.
Other Marriott's that are further away but could still be considered are:
Horizon's by Marriott, Cypress Harbour, and Grande Vista (all timeshares).
Residence Inn near Seaworld, Spring Hill Suites and Courtyard in the I-drive/convention center area.
In case you're not aware of it, Residence Inn, Fairfield Inn, and Spring Hill Suites include breakfast of some sort or another. Courtyard does not, but has a restaurant on site.
I've only listed Marriott properties here because that's what your original post indicated.
If you really want to splurge and spend big bucks, the J.W. Marriott is something else.
I haven't stayed at Caribe Royal, but it looks nice enough driving by, and is conveniently located.
