Walking times from hotel to DL?

[BurnsideMommy]

I know it's 10-12 minutes from DLH to DL, but I'm wondering about the times from the Good Neighbor hotels (the ones within walking distance, not shuttle).

Is there a site that lists the approx time to DL from the hotel

Ramada Maingate - 5 to 10 min walk.

This link lists some walking distances, measured in feet:

"How Far Is It?" by Alex Stroup

Alex Stroup used a software tool called Gmaps Pedometer to measure the walking distances from the closest rooms, and also from the farthest rooms.

Based on the above link, here are some approximate average* walking times (from the closest room and from the farthest room):
(* using an average walking speed of 3 miles/hour)

Best Western Park Place Inn: 5 to 7 minutes

Fairfield Inn: 8 to 10 minutes

Howard Johnson (HoJo): 10 to 11.5 minutes

Candy Cane Inn: 11 to 13 minutes

Anabella: 13.5 to 17 minutes

We just returned from a stay at the Candy Cane Inn. The walk is slightly less than 10 minutes. We never had a problem walking it.

Ok. THis may sound SO anal & ridiculous but we google mapped the GNH's & DLH - then measured the distance to the gates. Yes. We are dorks.

From DLH to the gates I THINK (if memory serves) it was 8 yds. But from DI&S, it was only 4!!! So we stayed there. It was between 5-10 min I'd say.

It took longer to walk to Paridise Pier (10 min) than to walk to HOJO (8 min) - although IMO I was happy to stay "on resort" and walk a bit further - I liked walking though DTD early morning before anyone was out and about

We are staying at DL hotel for the first time and I can say that I won't miss crossing the traffic on Harbor Blvd and watching the time tick away as the traffic light gets ready to change.

I always went thru the grand californian and thought the walk was fast. do people walk all the way thru down town disney to get to paradise pier?

There is a nice list in the planning section of the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland if you can borrow one of those from the library.

I also looked at this site:

Hope that helps!

Just to add since I was just there it takes about 15-20 to walk from the Holiday Inn on Walnut.

We stayed at the Candy Cane Inn which is on the same side of Harbor Blvd. as the parks. This was a nice perk of staying there. We didn't have to worry about crossing Harbor Blvd. The only place we had to cross was a driveway going into a parking lot. There was never a problem of heavy traffic there.

We did cross Harbor Blvd. one time to walk to Garden Walk. All I can say is NOT FUN!!! Even with the walk signal, it was abit scary.
