The GPS Waze APP took us to 429 and the back way into Disney. So back that we entered the park WITHOUT PAYING the parking fee!!! Really strange and didn't realize it until we looked backwards and saw that gas station that is by the gate where you pay. Saved us $20.00 at the time. Hope WAZE takes us that way again.

I do 429 also and have never experienced traffic problems. You also get a small break on tolls if you purchase a Florida Sun Pass sticker for your windshield and register an account online.

Yeah you busted me, I do 75 instead of 70

And at 75, you're still getting passed by those doing 85 or more. Of which there are quite few. :shrug:

Take the turnpike to 429. Use exit 8 Hartzog Rd. When you loop around, it becomes Western Way. Take that to Buena Vista and follow signs to your chosen park. On the way back, take Buena Vista to Western Way to 429 to turnpike. We ate breakfast with Mickey and friends at the Contemporary last month. The guard needed to see our reservation before he'd let us into the parking lot.

Not at all what you are discussing. But question to a two newbie. Are there any groups to join that go to Disney often?? Bus or personal cars. Just asking.

Just wait a few months, there will be a Disney monorail terminal at Brownwood.

Not sure of any organized groups, but I prefer to take the car. I have an annual pass, so parking is free. This allows me to migrate from park to park in the car without waiting for the monorail, bus...etc. If you have several friends with passes, it's much easier that way.

Just look in the list of clubs. There are probably more Disney groups than Mickey has fingers.
