Hotels at Disneyworld's Main Gate

By Timothy Sexton

Hotels at Disneyworld's Main Gate
Disney World is home to four 18-hole golf courses and one 9-hole walking course. Osprey Ridge Golf Course was named one of the top 100 resort golf courses in America by "Golfweek" in 2005. Taking full advantage of all five of the golf courses on Disney World's property is accomplished by staying close to the theme park. Several hotels outside Disney World are just a mile or two away from the main gate and provide easy and efficient transportation back and forth between the hotel and Disney World.

Clarion Maingate

The Clarion Maingate hotel is just 1.5 miles away from Disney World and those golf courses. This Clarion is also a Walt Disney World Good Neighbor; there is a free shuttle to take you to the park. You can save time standing in line by buying your tickets at the hotel lobby. Amenities in each room include free wireless Internet service, a microwave and a refrigerator. Shuttles take you to the nearby Lake Buena Vista Factory Outlet Mall. You can get in shape at the fitness center or the outdoor pool. The hotel also features a game room and a boardwalk that cross over a small pond.

Ramada Maingate West

The Ramada Maingate West puts you just a few minutes away from teeing up on Disney's Lake Buena Vista golf course. You can get to the Disney theme parks by taking the free shuttle. Another shuttle will get you to Universal Orlando or Sea World. The refreshing indoor heated pool is a great way to relax after a long day on Disney's links or after you've spent all day on your feet at the theme parks. The hotel features a food court that includes a Pizza Hut Express. Other amenities include a video arcade, an in-room safe and a mini-refrigerator in every room.
