Long Distance Drivers... Where do you stop to sleep?

[TandLMommy28]

Hey all!

So, we are driving 1067 miles. My goal the first day is to get from Northeast Indiana to just north of Nashville... we won't be leaving until 5pm so getting to Nashville around 11, basically. Then we'd have about 700 miles to go the second day, which isn't so bad, 10 - 11 hours of driving time assuming there's no traffic.

Anyway, my goal is to be IN Orlando Saturday night but we won't be checking in to POFQ until Sunday.

So where do you recommend staying??? There are so many choices close by that I seriously don't know what to pick. Anyone have preferences? I'd like something with a good breakfast but otherwise I'm not overly picky.

So where do you stay when you arrive the night before your reservation?

When we have arrived early, we usually stay a night at Pop or Movies. I never want to stay off-property for 2 reasons: you never know what you're gonna get off property and even though I'm not at my hotel, it's a Disney hotel! So I have no advice for you. Chekk Trip Advisor and try to find one that has few negatives.

We have stayed off property when arriving the day before our actual reservation at Disney. We have stayed at Buena Vista Suites. The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. The room was around $100 (maybe a bit less if there is a deal going on) and it included a free hot breakfast. The breakfast includes: eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels, grits, potatoes, oatmeal, waffles, cold cereals, fresh fruit, make your own omlete, coffee, tea, juice, milk and chocolate milk. The room had a seperate bedroom with 2 queen size beds and flat screen tv in the bedroom and livingroom, the living room also had a pull out couch, microwave and fridge.

We have stayed here a few times and never had a problem.

I would personally try to stay at Nick Hotel (getting a deal through travelocity or expedia) or try Coco Key. But also look at Mousesavers.com. Mary usually has some Orlando hotel deals listed.
