I can't tell from looking at the hotel maps I can find, but are there exits from the hotel closer to the plaza/downtown disney that guests can take instead of walking around from the front entrance? It looks like there is a path in one area, but it's hard to know if there are gates/fences etc.
Just looking at convenient ways to get to DL in the mornings. I will be running over from the conference halls to scan in before the meeting I am attending/or coming back from DL on days the conference starts a little later.
