Galleria Palms or Fairfield Inn International Drive?

[deebee29]

Can't decide between these two, Galleria Palms is more expensive, but it looks very nice. It is for a week long stay after our week at Disney... Whcih would you choose?

Edit: After I realized where this hotel is, definitely go with the Fairfield Inn. You are in a far better location to take advantage of all other things Orlando has to offer besides Disney (Yes, Orlando is actually a legitimate city besides the Mouse). You can normally upgrade to suite at the Fairfield for an additional $10-15 dollars/night or so.

Here's a "Birds Eye View" from Microsoft Maps as well as a map showing the location of the Fairfield Inn.





1. Fairfield Inn - International Drive
2. Magic Kingdom
3. Epcot
4. Disney's Hollywood Studios
5. Animal Kingdom
6. Sea World/Aquatica/Discovery Cove
7. Universal Sudios/Islands of Adventure
8. Orlando International Airport
9. Downtown Orlando
10. International Drive (although it stretches for miles to the north and south)

Hope that helps!

Wow! Thanks so much... Picking a hotel is such a hard decision!

 

[MattM]

What else do you plan on doing in Orlando other than Disney?

 

[deebee29]

Hello again!
We are spending an entire week in Disney and staying at POP, then we have another week to probably go back to Disney a day or two (we bought a 10-day ticket because it was only a couple extra dollars per day), as well as Sea World. We are also going to do some shopping at the outlets and the Florida Mall. I am still unsure about hotels, looking for something around $100/night.
Thanks

Then I would go with the Fairfield Inn with the Orlando Magic Card Rate at 80.00 dollars a night. You have to call the hotel get this rate. It has good reviews on tripadsvior.com .

I got one question how in the world did get all that show up on the map like. I have been trying to do that for months and still have not figure it out yet.

Just press the bird's eye view button!

About the Magicard, I ordered mine in November and it is last years I think. Will I still be able to use it for this rate. There is no expiry date on it, just says that it is good until the end of the program.
It is purple and orange, and I think the new one is green and blue.

Do you mean the pushpins or the picture of the Fairfield?

And DEEBEE, I would definitely go with the Fairfield Inn.

.

Yes I mean the push pins. I have not seen t hat one done before. I figure out the Fairfield picture part.

^ You zoom in to the location you want, and right click. A little menu will come up and you click on "add pushpin."
