Disney Resorts within Walking Distance to Downtown Disney
When we look at this first property, it can be a little misleading when you look up how far the walk is to Downtown Disney. Even though Disney Saratoga Springs Resort can be seen right across from Downtown Disney, this place is huge and it really depends on what part of the resort you are staying, as to if you will want to take the Trek by foot to Downtown Disney. If you are staying in Congress Park, this is by far the closest location to walk from. Walking around the edge of the lake and entering around The Earl of Sandwich is about 850 feet (0.16.miles). If you are on the upperside of the Resort, near The Carousel, your walk increases to about 4,000 feet (0.76 miles). Since all of the Disney Resorts on this side of the Lake connect by a walking path, you can also walk from Disney Old Key West (1.5 Miles), Port Orleans French Quarter (2.2 Miles) or Port Orleans Riverside (2.65 Miles). Anything over this distance is much further than most guests would like to walk but if you are up for some exercise, this is not a bad distance at all.

Can I walk from the Orlando World Center Marriott?
This is a question that gets asked a lot but most are let down by the answer they receive. This is due to the Orlando World Center Marriott being so very close to Downtown Disney but since it is divided by Interstate 4 there is no easy walking path. If you try to walk you will quickly find that it is about 4 miles away on foot. Good thing they have Transportation to get you there.
