I offered to take her to saturn the other day, but Oh no.....

 

[10 min. to wdw]

yes you really do need a car out there, however any of those apartments off county 535 aren't close to much especially with the construction going on the last time I was over there.

 

[mkt]

they're close to WDW.. that's it. And even that, only the MK.

Where I'm at now, I'm 10 minutes from Epcot, 14 from MGM, and 22 from AK and MK... with clear traffic.

And I'm also 5 minutes from any store I need, 20 mins from Downtown Orlando, 15 mins from Sea World and Universal, 40 mins from the Beach...

and I'm paying maybe $30 more a month than the places off 535. I also get a washer/dryer in unit, and a garage.

The only drawback... I think Hitler is in charge of my neighborhood association. Thank god I rent... that way I don't have to join/abide

Well the MK can be done in under 20, at night, with a radar detector.... just sayin.

 

[mkt]

well Dave... that's cause you're not familiar with the roads... nor what other routes can be taken with the Monty. I've made it in 15 mins before... with the radar detector and a police scanner.

1 - The OBT

3 - 417 to the beeline East

4 - Left, left again. Left on the OBT. Take it to I4 east.

5 - OBT to 528 to Universal Drive. (Possible turn left and cut over to 192 over to the irish pub)
