Looking for 1 or 2 BR condo/villa

[CSX2]

Any suggestions. Have always stayed on-site in past but it's just too expensive now!

I don't know how "budget conscious" you need to be, but have you looked at Orlando Courtyard Suites?
We just got back from there on Saturday.
This is not a resort, just a really nicely appointed suite hotel close to WDW.
You have to pass a boarded up hotel down the street to get there
but we never felt unsafe, could watch the fireworks at MK from the well lit parking lot, and found our suite to be very quiet with no road noise or noise from other guests.
For a one king bedroom suite with a full kitchen including dish washer,
stove, micro, fridge, washer and dryer, and whirlpool tub, granite counter tops
and more we only paid $69 a night- it was $59 a night before taxes.

We spent out days at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach (annual water park passes are a great deal!) so we enjoyed resort style pool experiences at the parks and not our hotel.
A two bedroom suite is only $109 a night- both bedrooms have their own bathroom.
We'll be bringing college age son next time so we'll probably do a 2 bed suite then.

I could not believe it only took 5 minutes to get to Blizzard Beach and Animal Kingdom, and route 192 has tons of great restaurants right at your doorstep.

We are already planning our next stay at OCS

Westgate Lakes and Floridays are the two I keep recommending.

Love, love, love Wyndham Cypress Palms. I had always been an on-site person, but my DH got me to agree to try a condo last trip because we got it at an amazing price (www.resortcerts.com) through RCI's clearinghouse. I fell in love with the place and can't wait to stay again in May.

We've stayed at Windsor Hills the last two years--3 br condo 204B in 2010 and 2br condo 202C. We rented through www.vacationcentralflorida.com and had great experiences. We will rent from them again when we go again in December. Windsor Hills is great.
