BEAUTIFUL RESORT to stay at on our HONEYMOON under $225/night?

[jamiejeremy]

We will be honeymooning in July... we can't afford an expensive hotel in Orlando (we are staying at one in cancun the second half of our honeymoon)- we are only staying in Orlando a few nights to go to Universal and Sea World and relax... We prefer a hotel CLOSE to Universal/ Sea World and like large/nice hotels.
Suggestions? Thanks

The one that comes to mind is right across the way from Seaworld and shouldn't be far from Universal. It is the Renaissance Orlando Resort. It is listed as the ONLY 4 star, which helps in bidding. I have seen it go for under $100/night on priceline (I used priceline last year with GREAT success). If you want to learn how to be successful with your priceline bids, go to biddingfortravel.com They helped me get an awesome resort, Marriott Orlando World Center, for 82/night.

Priceline (actually, biddingfortravel) also lists the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes listed as the only resort. I am not sure of its location though. Pictures are very nice.

If you follow this link, http://p070.ezboard.com/fpricelinea...waltdisneyworld.showMessage?topicID=650.topic you will see a list of the common hotels that come up on priceline. They are split up into location categories. Scroll down to Universal/Seaworld area.

The Peabody is also close, but don't know what it goes for.

If you keep calling when the discounts come out, you could probably get a room at one of Universal's on site hotels for under $225. That way you'd have the wonderful FOTL and not waste your time waiting in line in the hot July sun.
