Good deal for Omni Orlando at Champions Gate

[DianeV]

I think that is the exact name of the hotel but Travelzoo has a special listed for $99 a night at this place and its beautiful. It has to be booked by 6/24 and is for 6/15-9/10. Blackout for 7/19 & 7/20 and 9/1 & 9/2. It also states that 6/26 and 6/29 are now sold out.

Go to travelzoo.com for more info or you can book on the Omni site using code OMNIZOO

There is also a $10 resort fee

I wonder if they would let me use the Omni Select certificates they sent me?

Does anyone know if there is a "back door" from this hotel to Disney without using I-4? I-4 has a lot of consturction down there!

Yes, but it is getting very busy and under contrustion as well.

Take 532 (Champions Gate Boulevard) past I-4 and take the next left, CR 545. This heads to 192. Take a left onto 192 and then an immediate right. This is Sherberth.

Thanks!

You avoid I4 on this route and only have to deal with 192 for a block or two at the most.

But depending on the time of day, you could be sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on 545. A year ago, there was no one on that road, now, it can be terrible.

What time of day is the worst on 545?

 

[Ted and Holly]

What time of day is the worst on 545?

Basically the "rush hour" times. Between 7am and 9am and 4pm and 6pm on weekdays. Weekends never follow rules.

Most times during the day I find taking I-4 is much faster. In the evening between 4-6 I would take the other way.

I think I just gave up. I take I-4 pretty much any time I go to WDW. Well, I'll take 545 if I am going to the AK/AKL area. Other than that, I take 4. The only thing thatr changes is the exit I take. If traffic is bad, I take the first one. If traffic is OK and I am going to DTD, for instance, I'll wait and take the more direct exit.

Sounds like what I do.
