As you can see i joined this site 7 years ago and viewed it a lot and everyone else's questions helped me out when i needed somthing, I've even told a lot of poeple to go on here and view anything they ever needed as every subject get's covered

The Kid's where young way back then and we had been to Disney a couple of times

After a few years living alone and finding a partner we done tenerife a few times and NewYork 3 times, We got back from New York last Wednesday and on the way back i asked my Girlfriend if she would fancy Disney for my 40th later this year, I ran it past my kid's (Who are now 19, 22 and a 18month old Grandaughter) My 19 year old son is made up to go as is his Girlfriend, My daughter would like to leave it a few more years (Her partner was'nt to happy) till the baby is older, So it's just going to be Me, My G/F, My Son and his G/F.

Right here goes, Apoligies if it's too much to ask

I spent two nights searching for the best options with a budget of about £3k, Getting a car is out of the picture as i've never drove abroad before and i don't want to, so a car is defo a no-no.

Cheapest flights i was finding where like £500+ each

I know International Drive is my best bet as it's got half of the things i need i.e Seaworld, Universal and Belz

Now Travel City Direct have Quoted me £2,500 for a 2 Bedroomed Apartment in Parc Corniche in November flying direct from Man to Orlando with Airport Transfers and free Shuttles to Disney (The other half of the things i need)

And Expedia have Quoted me a little bit more £2,700 to stay at The Fountains (With Continetal Airlines stopping in Newark) which by looking at it look's a lot better for 4 Adults but i've got no transfers to Disney (Airport Transfers ain't a problem as they look cheap enough to book on line)

I want to stay at The Fountains but i'm worried about how much the Disney Transfers (They don't do a free shuttle) will cost me, in the two weeks we will at least go to Disney 5-7times and is it in a remote part of International Drive or will i be alright for the I-Drive Shuttle to take me up and down I-Drive.

I'm sure i'll have a lot more questions in the months ahead

But one thing i really really really want to know right now is

Is the Chinese all you can eat buffet restaurant still up the top end of I-Drive on the right about 2-3 stops away from the Outlets :rotfl:

As i said apoligies if it's a little long winded but i know if anyone can help me decide what to do it's you lot on here

Hi Tony

I never drive when abroad either and I've been to Orlando twice both times staying on IDrive. You can get the IRide Trolley buses up and down IDrive which includes the Dixie Stampede if you are intending to go there as the stop is right outside and the IRide trolley stops right inside the Seaworld car park.

If you need to get to the Disney parks you need to get the IRide trolley to the stop outside Seaworld then cross the road to get a Lynx bus (number 50 I think but you'll need to check their website or somewhere on this forum to be sure) then do the opposite on the way back. Its not as convenient as having a car but its really easy to do IDrive and Disney without a car!

Also if you're intending to go to Universal also I think there may be a Lynx bus that gets you there (again check the website or this forum to be sure) but we got a taxi from IDrive and it cost $7!

I hope this helps!
