Fifteen minutes may not seem like a lot until the fourth night your feet have spent walking. I am opting to stay at the Best Western Park Place in this June since it is right at the cross walk to the parks.

Fifteen minutes may not seem like a lot until the fourth night your feet have spent walking.<< Lets see, here are a couple of maps with the actual distance... First the farthest room in HoJo's to the park... <a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=155885" target="_blank">http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ ?r=155885</a> So we have 2/3'rd's of a mile, including hallways to get to the Main Entry Plaza center. And now from the farthest Candy Cane Inn room to the same point walking <a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=155889" target="_blank">http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ ?r=155889</a> The EXACT same distance, 2/3'rds of a mile. And lets add one more hotel, the Paradise Pier.... <a href="http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=155896" target="_blank">http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ ?r=155896</a> Same distance, 2/3'rds of a mile!

I also try and request a room up front near the lobby so that way when we do catch the shuttle, it isn't far to walk at all. It sure works for us anyway!! ºoº
