    Upon entering the Preserve which is run by the Nature Conservancy, I was impressed by how little "man-made" buildings were here. They keep this area very well maintained, offering several hiking trails, but be mindful this place does close at 4:30p. After you sign in,...More

    I am not sure if you can ride the trails inside Disney World. With the crowds, it may become a problem. People tend to just wander around and don't usually watch where they walk, and with a bicycle, that could be a problem... More
