According to my map app, walking from Motel 6 Maingate is about 0.7 miles. It will probably take 15 to 20 minutes to walk at a leisurely pace, or less if you're a power walker! Just don't expect a view of much of anything from your room.
You need at least a 3 day pass
get the Disney park app on your phone even weeks before your trip and begin to plan reservations for dining and attractions immediately. Most restaurants at the park will take reservations 60 days in advance. We waited until 2 days prior and our choices were very limited.
