Sherbeth Rd. shortcut question

[cinderella73]

There are two main ways. Assuming everyone can get to WDW from WH, I will skip that half for now:

The easiest is to take World Drive as if you are going to the Contemporary, but continue straight past Cont, pass Space Mountain on the left, continue around the curve, and turn right on Center Drive. It's all eye candy until you reach Reams Road. Then make a Uturn and follow the last part of the next paragraph to get back.

The second, but farther, way is to take SR535 north from I4. Turn left when 535 splits from Apopka Vineland Rd (I believe this is the first light past Hotel Plaza Blvd.) Around 4.5 miles, turn left on Reams Road. Last, turn left on Center Drive about 1.5 miles on the left. Eye candy ahead, the follow Floridian Way to the right. You will begin to recognize where you are by the time you get to World Drive.

Perfect! Thank you! I wrote it down in my notebook to take with me. I have been wanting to check out that area for some time. I will take some pics when I get down there and post them here . I love trying out all the different entrances. We found a cool way around last time but could never figure it out the second time. We were "trying" to get from MK to WH but ended up going down some funny road near GF. When we tried the next time on purpose we ended up totally lost. Its a lot of fun to explore though.

Are these roads available to the general public? I love finding shortcuts on maps and have been wondering this for a while.

From memory, West Sav. circle is not public.

What about West Savannah Circle and Bear Island Road?

Bear Island Road is gated at the Western Way end... Sadly, my GPS didn't know that, so we had to turn around in dark & pouring rain last year!

That's correct, northbound from Western Way on B.I. Rd. is the wastewater treatment plant, accessible only with a gate pass card.

Southbound is AK's horticulture area, then another guard shack.

Bear Island and Savannah are inaccessible to the general public.
