My 4 year old is 43" tall so she's eligible for all of the rides but when she was three, at least half the attractions were off limits.

I think you mean WDW is far different than Disneyland....and yes it is.
Where Disneyland is pretty much "trapped"/surrounded by other entities, WDW is pretty much it's own city to some extent. (It has it's own Fire Department, Reedy Creek Fire Department)
Hotels, in some cases are no more than a 5 minute walk.....from Magic Kingdom both the Polynesian and Grand Floridian are a 2 minute monorail ride or a short boat ride, while the Contemporary is 2 minutes the other direction. Only a 5 minute bus ride gets you from the Magic Kingdom to The Wilderness Lodge.
In the case of the Boardwalk Resort or the Beach Club you can actually walk to EPCOT.
The only real resort that seems a bit far (from my experience) is the Animal Kingdom Lodge. On a good day it is only 15 minutes from any one of the Parks.
Having Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney) the shopping center nearby is another thing you can do if you are all "parked" out.
