Convention in Orlando help

[jopatjopat]

I am planning to attend a convention at the Embassy Suites in Orlando, on International Drive, but my family will come with me. I prefer to have us stay on Disney property so they can go to the parks while I am at the convention. If we use ME transportation how do I get to the convention? Any advice would be appreciated...Thanks!

The only way to the convention would be a taxi, unless their is a shuttle service provided to those who have hotels at Disney by the convention planners. Only the bigger conventions will do that so I don't know the size of the convention or the travel arrangements.

If you have to use the taxi service it will cost you about $25.00 each way to the Embassy on I-D.

I'd rent yourself a subcompact from one of the onsite car rental companies, so that you can drive back and forth. Traffic getting to I-Drive can be murder, and I sure wouldn't want to do it in a cab with a meter running.

I always rent a car whenever I do these sort of trips, and usually I end up breaking even on the car because I always find myself giving colleagues a ride back to Disney. They save half the r/t cab fare, and they usually (each) feel compelled to give me a couple of bucks for my trouble.
