Hi everyone!

I'm booking my disney honeymoon and i need some advice from you guys! :scratchin
We've already booked a modest, week long vacation somewhere else, but to be honest i've always dreamed of a disney honeymoon XD, so my fiancee decided to surprise me and extend our vacation for a few days so we can go to disneyland and universal studios. (YAY! :hyper:)
We are using all the coupons, miles and bonus points we can find through all fidelity programs known to men, haha!
I have some points available on the IHG hotels priority club rewards, which can mean two or three free nights on certain hotels, depending on category.
The thing is, i would like it to be an economy hotel with breakfast included and shuttle service to both disney world and universal. Is there such a thing?
I don't care if it's not sleeping beauty's castle as long as it's clean and convenient. Which hotel would you recommend based on my needs?? We won't take or rent a car so we'll rely on public transportation.

Here's the options:

Holiday Inn Lake Buena vista Downtown: 2 nights
Holiday Inn Express Lake Buena vista: 3 nights
Staybridge Suites Lake Buena Vista: 2 nights
Holiday Inn Resort Lake Buena Vista: 2 nights
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Orlando-Lake Buena Vista East: 2 nights
Holiday Inn : Main Gate East: 3 nights
Holiday Inn Resort : Castle I-Drive: 2 nights
Crowne Plaza : Orlando-Universal: 2 nights
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Orlando - International Drive: 3 nights
Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites : Across From Universal Orlando: 2 nights
Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites : Nearest Universal Orlando: 3 nights

As you can see, the number of nights varies depending on category. I wouldn't mind spending an extra night if the hotel of my choice includes other amenities that mean extra savings for us such as free breakfast, walking distance to downtown disney, free shuttle to both parks, etc.

Thank you!!
 
the one in Downtown Disney has bus service to WDW and I think you can get a bus to US/IOA.

that say can't find anything about it on their website - so would call them.

holiday inn disney downtown 1 on your list
 
If you are okay with changing hotels, I'd spend a night at each. There's a Holiday Inn that's close to USO (walking distance but no free breakfast). There's an HIE a little farther down the road (free breakfast but non walkable to USO). Then switch to the HI in DTD for your Disney days. Free shuttle.
 
Just to let you know, i ended up booking Holiday Inn Lake Buena Vista Downtown. It has the best ratings of the IHG group hotels in the area, the shuttles are very frequent and it's a block away from a bus stop that takes you directly to Universal for $2 each.
I'll let you know how it goes :) thank you!
