How many miles is it from Tampa FL to Disney World?
Depends on where in Kissimmee you are. The closest part of Kissimmee is less than a quarter mile from WDW property. But other places in Kissimmee can be over 18 miles. I used to live near Osceola Square Mall and worked at WDW. I set my trip meter to zero from where I was parked at my home. By the time I reached the Walt Disney World sign that spans over World Drive, it read 13.1 miles. From there to Cast Parking for the Magic Kingdom was another 3 miles.
Walt Disney World is over 40 square miles, about the size of San Francisco or two Manhattan islands. Of the more than 25,000 acres, less than 35 percent has been developed with a quarter designated as a wilderness preserve. Kissimmee is nearly 17 square miles and runs just a few miles south of Orlando International Airport (approximately 26 miles east of WDW) and straddles the southern end of WDW (Lake Buena Vista).
So I guess the answer to your question would be a quarter mile to 24 miles.

What is a good way to remember north south east and west?
A popular mnemonic device is "Never Eat Soggy Waffles" where each word represents a direction (North, East, South, West). Another way is to associate each direction with a real-life reference point, such as where the sun rises or sets. Practice using a compass or map to reinforce your understanding of each direction.
