Default The "back way" from TV to Disney

Can't find it on the search feature and haven't driven it in a few years. Can someone refresh my memory on that back way to Disney?

Off the top of my head, can't remember. But when I put it into my GPS to avoid tolls, it usually takes me that way.

I don't know what you mean by the back way but I always take the turnpike to 429.

The back way that I took a few years ago had several tolls, I don't mind that. It literally seemed like we were out in the middle of nowhere and within 5 minutes we were at a back entrance.
I don't like the 429 as it is jammed with traffic for several miles at opening time.

Take US-27 south to US-192 in Clearmont, follow that to the World Dr. entrance. That's the old "back way" into Disney.

SR429 (Turnpike Western Beltway) is now the fastest route to Disney if you don't mind a few tolls, get off at Western Way exit to enter near Coronado Springs resort.

If you're looking for a back way to the Magic Kingdom area take SR429 to the New Independence Parkway exit, go east and turn right onto Hamlin Groves Trail, follow to Reams Rd and take a right, about a mile down the road is a traffic light into the cast parking area, turn right, follow to stop sign and you will be behind MK at the Big Top Circus area, turn left for the Contemporary Resort, right for Grand Floridian/Shades of Green. This route saves lots of time on the busy days if going to the MK.

I take Fl turnpike to Route 429 exit toward Tampa. (toll road). Stay on Rt 429 until you see Disney exit. Back Gate is only a mile. Never had any traffic.

Us too. $3.25 toll on the Turnpike and $1.50 on 429 (each way).

Does this let you avoid the Transportation Center/Ferry Boat/Monorail?

It would if you were going to "meet some friends and have lunch" at the Contemporary or GF resort and parked at the hotel, then you could take the hotel monorail into the MK park entrance. From the Contemporary it is also easy to walk over to the MK entrance without the monorail ride.

That was it! The Reams Rd way. You do not avoid the transportation station, but you do avoid the log jam of traffic on Western Way after you get off of 429.
