Cheap MCO hotel for late arrival..

[katyringo]

Hopefully mods can move this question where is should go...

right now my flight leaves Omaha at 5am, meaning I'll need to be at airport very early and it will be holiday weekend and so even earlier..

debating moving my flight back to the night before leaving Omaha around 5pm.. but that would have me landing in MCO after midnight.

i don't want to pay for another night at Disney hotel and there isn't availability anyway.

anyone have cheap near MCO hotel recommendations that I can shuttle to that late? My plan would be to shuttle back to MCO to take Disney express in the morning..

When we have late night flights we usually stay right there at the MCO hotel that is in the airport. Cost isn't too bad if I remember correctly. It makes it easier the night of and the next morning being right there.

this would Be the most convenient but it's $230 a night for the night I need it..

Pretty much all the major hotel brands have properties right outside the airport and offer shuttle service 24/7.

Do you know specifics with 24/7 shuttle? The la Quinta one I was eyeing stops at 10pm

Your post has been moved to the Orlando Hotels and Attractions board. Hopefully there will be more info here in addition to the great information that was offered above.

Cheap hotels, like la Quinta never offered 24/7 shuttles. Some of the hotels which used to offer 24/7 shuttles reduced or eliminated shuttles, covid. Call the phone number for the resort itself and ask. Hotels like Hilton Garden, Sheraton Suites, Marriott, Embassy Suites offered 24/7 shuttles. Taxi fare between MCO and your hotel might reduce savings

Its been many years since we've done it (we moved to Orlando 7+ years ago) but the various Marriott properties did. Fairfield Inn, Courtyard, Full Service Marriott, all had it.

Most of the Hilton properties (DoubleTree, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, etc.) offer 24/7 hotel shuttles, call in advance to confirm but this would be my recommendation, probably be your best bet if you are not able to stay on-site at MCO.. Also be sure to inform your hotel in advance that you will be arriving late night/early morning, if you stay at a Hilton property you can use digital check-in on your phone and bypass the Front Desk altogether..

I've stayed at the MCO Embassy Suites a few times (most recently on 10/8 thanks to Southwest's operational meltdown). If you have more than 2 people it's especially great because you'll get a suite-sized room and a full breakfast buffet included for the room price. The shuttle is quick and convenient; just call the hotel when you get there to get picked up.

A tiny little bonus staying at an off-airport hotel is that if you Uber/Lyft (and probably taxi too) to your disney resort from there, the airport surcharge/tax doesn't apply so that ends up being cheaper, too.

We are doing the same thing in January. Would also be interested in seeing suggestions

Just wondering what you decided and how it worked. My sister and I just booked a flight that gets in at 9:30 pm, and we were thinking of staying at the airport hotel but it's full on our date. On the same topic, what transportation did you take from the hotel to your next spot (we're booked on disney property).

Thanks!

I ended up paying way to much for the hotel at MCO for one night... and I took Magical Express very early the next morning to make it for Epcot rope drop early entry. Magical express was still an option in November. Sorry, I know thats not helpful now...

Ride share is likely to be the easiest and reasonably priced. The hotel can probably get you a car (service) with a flat rate. You could advance book a car service, FL Tours, Tiffany, Tony Hinds etc.
Id rather not commit to specific time.

Only the good hotels (translation = expensive) offer 24/7 shuttle.

I would just sleep in on the airside/terminal side of MCO. Less people and more comfortable than the 100s who are sleeping on the landside. (this is contingent on not having checked bags to pick up at the landside baggage claim)

Airport lounges open at 5 am.
