Just go to the tunnel instead.

skymama 37 #6 April 4, 2011 There are shuttles that go straight from the airport to Disney hotels. I've seen a lot of other shuttles, I'm sure some of them go to other hotels. Yes, she should fly into MCO.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

airdvr 210 #9 April 4, 2011 It is less expensive to stay outside the resort but the hassle factor increases alot. It's a PITA to shuttle in and out every day. Food anywhere around the park is a gouge. Disneyworld and thin budget don't mix.Please don't dent the planet. Destinations by Roxanne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tmarine253 0 #10 April 4, 2011 Tell your friend to look into hotels in Lake Buena Vista, thats the actual city that Walt Disney World is in, not Orlando. If your friend decides to stay in downtown Orlando or close to that, its a pretty good hoof to Disney World. Most hotels will have shuttles to the parks. Also tell your friend, to look online for hotel deals because they are definitely out there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ordie1 0 #11 April 4, 2011 I've gone to Orlando every summer for 6 years and stayed in Lake Buena Vista, Orlando & rented duplex's. The duplex or rent houses are cheaper and both of the ones we stayed in were extremely clean and well taken care of. The downside is that you usually have to book them a few months in advance, they can be a good distance from the attractions and you have to supply your own everything. Towels, soap, shampoo and in some cases even bed sheets. This can be a pain in the ass!! If you're gonna stay in hotel you might as well stay in Lake Buena Vista (Disney's resort) if you are plannng on doing the theme parks. They can be a little expensive but every hotel provides shuttles to and from every Disney theme park so you don't have to deal with driving & paying out the ass to park. Driving on the resort can get a little confusing to. Every hotel we have stayed at on the resort has been 5 star. If your not doing the Disney parks stay in Orlando. Some hotels have shuttles to different non Disney parks, some don't. (Found that out the hard way!) So the worse thing that can happen is you have to drive and pay for parking. I don't know what you plan on doing in Orlando but i hope this helps you a little anyway. I prefer the resort but that's just because i have kids so i really don't have a choice but to go to Disneyworld. Enjoy & see you there in July...Again!

JohnMitchell 16 #12 April 4, 2011 Squeak, V and I just got back from Orlando, took Brett and Melissa down there for a week. We got a 3 bdrm, 2.5 bath condo for under $80 a day. I saw decent, clean motels advertising weekly rates of $140, super cheap. Disney is actually West of the town of Kissimmee, FL. Orlando is about 10 miles East. All the bargain motels I saw were on W. Irlo Bronson Highway in Kissimmee, just minutes from the main gates, easy to find on Google maps. Many of them had shuttle service to the parks, which can save a lot of $$ on parking ($15 a day or more). PM me if you want me to research a few for your friend. BTW, Disneyworld is okay, but we prefer Universal Studio's two parks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
