sorted byForget the cost of transport when going to these parks, It's more important you get there early enough to avoid wasting a lot of time queing up to get through security or / and obtaining your online tickets. Some of the parks required proof of identity too. Aquatica was the quietest park and was really good for us as a family with a combination of water rides and swimming / paddling areas. Disney Kingdom was full of old style rides and entertainment with lots of animatronics - not my type of thing and busy even in December - tickets sell out for Disney parks so don't always think you can get them there. Universal is actually two parks and you'll neet to consider if you want to go to Universal which is more show based (although there are enough rides to keep kids entertained or, Adventure Island. We bought a day ticket which gave us access to both parks which are joined by the Hogwarts train ride. We could not fit everything in and it really needed two or more days to see everything. Bush Gardens was disapointing compared to the others - it didn't seem to know if it was theme park or safari park / zoo and ended up a mish mash. The coach ride was ok, but a bit boring for over an hr ride - Florida was surprisingly flat so there aren't really any views to enjoy. Discovery Cove was very expensive but the Dolphin Experience was amazing Luna was very accommadating. One tip, you pay the same price for the photo packages whether there's one, two or more people so try and buy a group ticket with others you know and order the package at one price for all of you - you get the photo's on CD and you are given access to a website you can also download them from for a year. Search around for deals for discovery cove as it can be very very expensive. It is the one place however where all food and drink was included. At the other parks you ended up being mainly limited to the same type of fast food over and over so the food got boring. Meals in the parks typically cost $10 - $15 dollars each. You could buy meal day passess with unlimted food and drink for about $49 each. You had to allow a certain amount of time before eating again though. It is possible to buy plastic cup containers and they typically give refills for $1 each and you can use them every time yoiu go to the park so they aren't limited to just that day. We bought one and shared it.
This hotels location as I said is excellent. We were about 25 mins I-Ride away from Sea World / Acquatica and about 25 mins coach from Universal. Uber drive to Disney was about 35 mins from memory. What we did for food was to shop at Wallmart on the first day there to buy enough food in for breakfasts - Wallmart was about 35 mins walk away which doesn't sound much but it is a long way in the heat. Then the rest of the time we used Wallgreens and bought bread, milk, orange juice, that type of thing. Food is much more expensive there. We asked the Uber Driver and he said typically along International Drive food was 25% more than elsewhere because it is a tourist trap. We also ate out at the Golden Coral (eat all you want - typically about $20 dollars each), the Chinese Buffet or Cisis which is eat all you want pizza type food for under $10. We did try the I-Hop too but felt that was over priced and over rated. Expect to pay tips on all food and save up coupons before hand and pay attention to when it's cheaper to eat - typically before 3.30pm so main meals in the afternoon make more sense unless at a theme park. There are shopping malls (more expenseive designer type places at either end of International Drive as well as "crazy golf" courses, tourist type shops for clothes and theme park items and other eating places.
My advice, plan your holiday before you travel and download the apps for each theme park. On the apps you can see where all the rides and shows are and importantly the current waiting times to access the rides. Like Alton Towers they operate a fast track system too for a premium and it is very frustrating watching lots of people zoom by you when you've queued up a long time. Fast track definitley is fast track and for the busy theme parks (Universal and Disney in our experience) plan the quietest days to use the parks. You don't want to spend all your time in queues.
Back to the hotel, the we stayed on Floor 6 in one of the blocks. The room looked in over one of the pools and there are no indoor corridors. You walk along open walkways and your door opens out straight on to these. If you walk around them you get good views at this height and even though there is heavy traffic around this area with highways etc it was quiet enough never to bother us. The only down side was the internet. The hotel internet speeds were very very slow. I'm glad I got one of the T-Mobile unlimited data (15 day sims) before flying and I had no trouble using it anywhere we went, including the hotel. Only a couple of times did I get spam texts and I simply blocked the numbers. I switched back to my own sim on the plane back to the UK. Last thing about the hotel, don't buy in to the games room. There is a room with a few arcade machines in, but it's only small and there's a TV room which you don't really need as you have a TV in your own room. There's also the restaurant area and they also have a weigh in room where you can check your luggage weight before flying back to the UK. This hotel is perfectly adequate as a good base. Excellent location, with perfectly acceptable rooms. Room service was every day.
Last tip, when people go home they often leave items they don't want in the laudary areas so check them out in the mornings for items of clothing or toasters etc or join the Facebook group. I was lucky. I went with someone who was excellent at finding bargains and negotiating deals and booking things either on line or by phone so kudos to them for helping make it a great holiday. I'd have no hesitation in going back to this hotel. It does what you need for a theme park hotel.
One word of warning. Be careful crossing roads. We always always used the crossings and we waited for the "white flashing man". International Drive crosses a few very busy highways and even though the lights can be flashing for pedestrians to cross, cars can still turn across you when turning from a certain direction even if their lights are red so keep your eyes open at all times when crossing roads. American drivers also seem to be far more impatient than in the UK and we aren't brilliant at it either! (edited)
If I went back I'd probably do the cheapest Disney one: you do get extra time in the parks and you do need it to try and see everything, but you don't have time to appreciate a nice hotel.
Easy to get to/from the airport.
7/11, within walking distance and the mickey mouse breakfast waffles are great for the kids and the bigger kids!
If you aren't going to be in the hotel this place is absolutely fine. Got good air con, rooms cleaned daily and a pool to cool down in
For all of those saying its a state, when I stayed here as a child I didnt remember how lackluster the hotel was, I remember the pool and feeling lucky enough to even be there.
For some people, this might be their only option and its a good one if it is.
as above Florida is not a cheap place to go anymore especially with the pound dollar, we go ever year but have a villa so save on that.
we didn't get over during the lockdown obviously but finally got back last year twice and couldn't believe the cost rise on everything from the supermarket shop to the price of fuel in the car, the shopping outlets aren't as bargain as they used to be in fact we found quite a few things to be cheaper going to Cheshire oaks over here, the parks have steadily gotten more and more expensive from the parking to the tickets.
all that said we still love it there but will be taking a few years out, maybe one day we'll get back to the 2 dollar odd to the pound or we can wish at least lol
Great location, loads of great bars and restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute walk. Recommend Longhorn Steakhouse, best steak I've had.
Universal is a few minutes in an uber, Disney ie Disneyland, Epcot, Animal Kingdom is about 20 mins in an uber, and costs around 15 to 20 quid a ride.
Yes, it is expensive out there, drink more so than eating out. You'll struggle to find a good pint under a tenner. However, you don't go to Florida to scrimp and save imo, suck it up!
Good price though for flight and what i have heared is not a terrible hotel
After pricing we are looking to stay in a low end disney hotel (all stars) the park tickets depending on parks 900 each 30 per day parking
$25 Disney
$27 Universal
$800 for 16 days for a Chevy Suburban that can seat 7 and luggage (it’s a beast!).
Can get smaller car cheaper. (edited)
We're now looking for a week (maybe 10 days) in Dubai but even that's gone crazy on prices (been looking everywhere so waiting for the HUKD superstars to save the day!)
