WDW resort closest to Orlando Citrus Bowl?

[donnamerry]

I'm planning a trip to Orlando for an event at the Citrus Bowl in March '08 - I know it's about 23 miles from the WDW resort - would it make a difference being a little closer staying in a specific WDW resort? When we go to Orlando staying on the WDW property is where we like to stay. Thanks for any and all replies!

the differences would be fairly small - mostly it's a case of which ones are closest to an eastern exit from the property. The closes would probably be Old Key West - a DVC resort. The closest among the "regular" resorts would probably be Caribbean Beach, followed by Port Orleans French Quarter. Saratoga Springs, another DVC property, would be about the same as those two. And the "semi-Disney" properties on Hotel Plaza Blvd would also be pretty close to the SR-535 entrance to I-4.

But even if you were to stay someplace far away like the Contemporary, the difference is still only five or six minutes if you know the shortest routes.
