we drive, and stop at the welcome center rest stop when entering Fla. pick up those motel coupon books (I think you can order them on line (Room Saver).
anyway, we ended up leaving a day earlier than we thought, and got a room in Kissimmee at Motel 6 for $19! (this was in the end of APril) nothing fancy, but clean. nice little pool . on 192. and you could walk across the street to Old Town. there was a McDonalds (or was it burger king?) at the front of the motel.it was just a few blocks east of World Drive.
