We always stay on property and do our final night off property to save money. We get to use our dining credits throughout the day of check-out, so we just throw our luggage in the van, go to the park, and then hit a cheaper hotel that night before we start the long drive home. It saves us from having another night of dining and such added to our package. If that makes sense.
Last year we stayed at a hotel over by the Animal Kingdom area (I forgot the highway) and although it was only $75 for the night, I was a little turned off. It was very, very clean if a little out dated. But I felt like I was in a time-share sales pitch just to check-in. At 9pm, with two tired kids, and knowing I'd have to get up at 6am to hit the road, I was just annoyed. The room was prepaid, but the only man working check-in was too busy trying to sell Disney tickets to a couple to even acknowledge me for 20 minutes. And then when it was my turn, it took 10 minutes of telling him we JUST left a Disney resort and have no need for more tickets. Then it was on to Universal, I was going to scream.
This trip I am looking to stay at a Lake Buena Vista DTD hotel. Maybe Wyndham or Clarion if I can find a deal. I just want a room that is clean, updated, with no high pressure sales pitch upon check-in. Oh, and hopefully around $125ish for the night in late September.
Is there a hotel you would recc'd? Thanks
