Good morning, we stay for 3 months just south of Disney in Jan, Feb, and March. Spouse works at Disney 2 days/week. We met two very nice retired women who worked with Von. One woman stayed in Extended Stay on 192 just south of Akingdom and also in the one farther east on 192...Both were marginal at best. Especially the one farther east on 192. She said they were was lots of noise, some scary confrontations in the parking lots and overall she did not feel safe in the one farther east on 192. She said the better one of the two is just south of AK on 192 with the Angels Buffet inside.
We helped them to find a fully furnished 2/2 condo at Windsor Palms for next winter for $1000/month ($500 each) including all utilities for 3 months. If you know your dates or approximate dates, you have nothing to lose by trying to contact owners of weekly rentals to see if they would be interested in renting to you by the month. Do you have any idea how long you need temporary housing?
Two options to start.
go to
www.lastminutevillas.com and send a mass email to owners of one or two bedroom condos. Tell them you can afford X amount/month. Many owners will not bite, but you only need who wants a guaranteed income for a time period.
Second go to sites like
www.vacationrentals.com or
www.vrbo.com and at vacationrentals if you go the Disney area the units appear starting with one bedrooms. If they have an "availability calendar" check it and if it has date taken during your stay just move on to the next one...you will email the owners directly on these sites and not deal with any "middle men."
It does work but takes some time. On vrbo you have to click on the small icon that has bedrooms from least to most so you are searching by number of bedrooms rather than sorting through hundreds of places that are too big for your needs...T
There are many many choices and you might just find one that will help...In the $700 to $900/month range I would guess one bedroom or maybe two bedroom is your best bet. Remember this will include all utilities and furnishings....This is one option...if you do choose Extended Stay, advice from our friend is to do one with Angels buffet farther west on hwy 192 and get a room on the front side facing 192 not on the back side...
Good luck...Ted
