Navigation at Walt Disney World

When Walt Disney himself set out in a private plane in search of where he wanted to build the Walt Disney World Resort, he chose the current location of Orlando, Fla., for many reasons. Sure, Central Florida has great weather all year round, but he also made his choice because he wanted as many people in Florida and all over the country to be able to access it by car. Now, more than 30 years after that plane trip, Walt’s reasons for making his decision have paid dividends. The Walt Disney World Resort is one of the most-visited tourist destinations in the entire world, and it shows no signs of letting up any time soon.  

What exactly makes the Walt Disney World Resort so accessible? First of all, it is in between two major highways in Florida – Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike, and less than an hour from two other major roads – Interstates 75 and 95. This makes it very simple to get to the Walt Disney World Resort, no matter what direction you are coming from! In addition, it is only about a 15-minute drive from the Orlando International Airport, meaning you can fly in to Orlando and be at your Walt Disney World Resort hotel reasonably within just an hour – how’s that for convenience? For directions to and from the Walt Disney World Resort, as well as information on how to get to and from the parks and resorts, check out this section on how to get there.

Transportation is also a key component to any vacation, and the Walt Disney World Resort has made transportation easier than ever. Not only does the Walt Disney World Resort offer free transportation to and from the Orlando International Airport, they also offer free transportation to and from all of the theme parks and attractions from all of the resort hotels on property, meaning that you no longer have to get a rental car to worry about getting around! Disney also has innovative means of transportation on property that make getting around easy and fun, including a monorail system that goes to the Magic Kingdom Park and Epcot. For more information on these means of transportation, and for information regarding parking at all four theme parks, visit this section on transportation at the Walt Disney World Resort.
