I haven't stay at Pinewood but we did stay in the same area at Grand Reserve. It's a very rural area with subdivisions along the way. You can drive up Lake Wilson Rd and be to a CVS pharmacy (at the intersection of Lake Wilson and Osceola Polk Line Rd.) within a couple of minutes and if you turn left it will take you to Champions Gate where there's a Publix, McD, Subway and some other stores (about 5 minutes). Champions Gate is also exit 58 for I - 4. You can take this and get to Disney very quickly. Just north on I - 4 at exit 62 you can get on World Dr. for Disney.
You can also follow Lake Wilson Rd north and be on 192 where there's lots of restaurants in 10 minutes.
If we wanted to go to the Poinciana and eastern side of 192 we used to follow that Osceola Polk Line Rd east to US 17-92 (OB Trail) then up Poinciana Blvd to 192. Much less traffic than going up to 192 first and then heading east. Stick to doing it in the day time though.
You can also follow Ronald Reagan Parkway west to 27 to access that area.
Pinewood is # 129 on my google map. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...8.272032,-81.608849&spn=0.068335,0.11055&z=13
Thanks for that, it would also be great to hear from someone has stayed here. We are looking to book very soon a lovely villa, but can't seem to find anyone who has stayed on the estate.
