I have not stayed in Ocala(expedia.com shows a few inexpensive hotels).We always visit the disney welcome center. It's very easy to find. You will see signs on 75 advertising the center. On our last visit DSIS and I got a free mickey key chain for answering a question. We then go to Bob Evans for breakfast and head onto Disney. It's a very easy off and on from 75. Susan
We stayed at the Baymont Inn once several years ago. It is right by the welcome center and was clean and fresh looking then. (not exactly a recent visit)...I would not hesitate to stay there again. I don't remember exactly what we paid, but it wasn't much and included a nice continental breakfast.
