Arrival night hotel..

[Dalton5]

Can anybody recommend a nice, reasonably priced hotel for our arrival night? We are driving from Ohio and plan on getting into Orlando around 6:00pm on a Sunday night..Our ressies for the CR are for Monday..We would like to spend the night close to WDW so we can check in there early Monday morning. Thanks!!

everyone has a different opinion of reasonable

I think Laquinta Inn is reasonable - some others think Motel 6.

or go with
www.hotelkingdom.com

or even www.priceline.com

hint.
the Kissimmee area can be closer to WDW than most of the Lake buena Vista area.

Dalton5--we did the same thing last year (one year ago this week to be exact!) We stayed at an Executive Inn (I think) on Irlo Bronson. It was THE PITS!! Do NOT stay here!! There were at least 30 or 40 teenagers running around everywhere like a bunch of wild Indians, the room was TINY, the A/C didn't work in our room and after requesting maintance personnel 3 times, DH finally figured how to get it fixed enough to put out a little cool air. They finally showed up an hour later and since DH had the unit working, they left. Sometime around 2 am it kicked off and we suffered the rest of the night. SO GLAD TO BE OUT. We complained about the lack of air but was not compensated at all.

If I had any words of wisdome to share, don't be stingy on your room rate. Go ahead and get a nice place--La Quintas are awesome--and have a good
night's sleep. We certainly would change that part of our trip if we could. We were so tired and exhausted from the 14 hr drive from Nashville and then the lousy room and lack of sleep, we were all incredibly grumpy on our first day in Disney.

Next time we go, we'll go ahead and make res for the first night at Disney regardless of our arrival time.

Have a great time!!

We have stayed at the Radisson Resort Parkway (Mousesavers Preferred Hotel) and liked it. The rooms were nice and clean and the pool area was beautiful. It is also very close to Disney.

Hope this helps.
