AboutPatrick Carr Expertise I am most adept at answering questions concerning travel arrangements and planning for visits to Walt Disney World. From how to get the best price on hotels, to when to visit the parks and on what day, my expertise lies in these areas. I have helped to plan trips for hundreds of people over the last 15 years. In my area, I`m known as the "Disney Guy" who can make your magical wishes come true with proper planning!
Experience I travel to WDW at least 4 times per year, and that's not easy from Northwest Arkansas! Making this many trips per year, and on a budget that doesn't break the bank makes me an excellent choice to field questions concerning all things related to the Disney parks and vacations.

Question I am staying at the Ramada Maingate in Kissimmee, which says it is 1 mile
away from (one of) the Disney entrances. I was just wondering how far
Pleasure Island is. We will not have a rental car, so I am trying to find some
money saving ideas to get from P.I. back to our hotel during our stay. Please
let me know how far P.I. is from WDW and any transportation trips you might
have.
Thanks, Sarah
Answer Pleasure Island is located in the Downtown Disney complex, about 1 mile or so away from the Ramada Maingate in Kissimmee. You should be able to take either the hotel shuttle or the Lynx transportation system back and forth.
Remember to use Disney transportation when you are on property. There are shuttles running from the parks to the TTC and then to Downtown Disney. That is your best bet during the park operating hours.
