Ocala Welcome center

[kimmie]

With no search available, I need to ask if anyone knows the address and phone number to the Disney Ocala welcome center. I am trying to find out which hotel is directly across the parking lot. Can anyone help? Years ago it was Howard Johnson I think. But its not anymore.

The Ocala Disney Store (actually it is a Donald Store) is a block behind the Marriott Courtyard.
The Fairfield is across the street from the Courtyard.
Both of the above are next to I-75. There is a sign on I-75 marking the exit to the Disney Welcome Center.
The Hilton is on the opposite side of I-75 about a 4 block walk.

Addendum

Just remembered that the exit is Florida Highway 200. If I remember correctly the Courtyard and the Welcome Center will be on the left going south.

The street turns off 200 next to the interstate. There is a Cracker Barrel next to I-75 and a Hardees across on the opposite corner. The Courtyard is in sight behind the Hardees. The Welcome Center is on down a block on the right. There is a sign on Highway 200.

Hi, I just looked in The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2001, and it gives a phone number for the ocala welcome centre, here it is, 352-854-0770 the centre is open 9 til 6.

It also says that they discount rooms by up to 43% to walk ins. It says you can call a day before you are arriving and they may look and tell you what is available. I would definitely give it a try even if you already have a wdw reservation.

I guess it pays to have all these guide books around. Anyways I enjoy them,

Bye,

Deb.
