Walt Disneyworld Area park advice?

Have decided to visit Disneyworld area. Way too late to get into Fort Wilderness unless there is a cancellation. So, any advice on local parks with good access? Looking to be there the end of October or early November. Being a left coaster, I have no clue. Has been 20 years since I have been in the area. THANKS for any advice on where to stay or areas to look at.

    We stayed at Tropical Palms in March and were pleasantly surprised. We've stayed at Fort Wilderness before and were concerned about what to expect but it was very nice. They have a pool that serves snacks and drinks (adult style as well). Can walk to Old Towne which is a neat little place. We were also able to walk to a mini golf (a nice one, not dumpy) and to Joe's Crab Shack. I would recommend the premium black top or cement sites. The grass sites can be quite unlevel (we stayed on one).

    There is also a KOA in Davenport that has a `free' shuttle to Disney. The quotes are because we tipped the driver.
