TDR hotels - walkable to parks?

[mathgeek]

Are any of the official TDR hotels considered walkable to the parks, other than the obvious ones, MiraCosta and Fantasy Springs to TDS and Disneyland Hotel to TDL? I was just there over the holidays and stayed at the Sheraton, which was fine, and the monorail worked just fine. But I'm already planning another trip and would like to stay at one of the Disney owned hotels (fingers crossed about getting a reservation) next time.

If you really want to walk, Ambassador is the best option.
Otherwise, the Toy Story Hotel is next to the Sheraton so you'd take the monorail.

Celebration is quite a distance from the main part of TDR so you'd have to take a shuttle. It can take significantly longer to get to the parks, especially if you have to wait for multiple buses during the morning and evening rush.

Yeah, I’d already ruled out Celebration. So probably Ambassador or Toy Story unless I can save enough to stay at DL Hotel.

Upon rereading my original post I guess I should’ve just asked if Ambassador is walkable since I pretty much knew the answer to the rest. Lol.

Maihama first is extremely walkable, not a Disney hotel but only about a 10 or 15 minute walk.

Is there a reason you have to walk? Ambassador provides bus service to both parks.

On nice days when we were up early and staying at the Ambassador, we walked. It was nice to get the legs moving.

How did you manage to walk to DisneySea in 15 minutes? Did you somehow get access to the Fantasy Springs entrance?

I just like walking when I have the option to in nice weather. I own DVC at BWV and VGC, so it's something I'm used to in the US parks. But I felt like it was so cold and dark most times I was coming or going on this past trip staying at the Sheraton that I didn't take the opportunity to explore walking options.

I get that. But TDR really isn't set up for walking between resorts, unless you're out by the Sheraton where they have sidewalks.

For the Ambassador hotel, which the OP is considering, it was 10 minutes to DisneySea and 15 minutes to TDL. And there are paths/sidewalks.
