Looking for hotel suggestions

[dad004]

We will be driving to Disney World on Saturday. We can not check in to our hotel until Sunday. Can someone suggest a hotel to spend the night on Saturday? Something maybe within 15 minutes of the park. We want to get an early start Sunday morning.
I'm also looking for a hotel for when we leave. Our last day at WDW is Thursday and going to Sea World on Friday, so I'm also looking for a decent place to stay those 2 nights also.

Thanks in advance

We like Staybridge Suites Lake Buena Vista right outside of Disney, near the Downtown Disney entrance. (maybe .05 miles to entrance). 1-2 bedroom suites, kitchen, free breakfast. I don't know where your staying once inside Disney but if you have a refrigerator in your Disney room you can prep some foods in Staybridge Suites and bring them with you into Disney. It's nice to not have to rely on Disney meals all of the time...and money saving too! Staybridge Suites is within walking distance to grocery stores, liquor stores and some restaurants. Easy driving to many other restaurants. Best price I've found for our Sept stay is through AAA.
One more thing, if you join Staybridge's Priority Club (free) you can get late check-out, which can be very convenient. Also, free cookies or something...

You might check out Betterbidding.com which shows you how to use both priceline and hotwire. Because of the number of users and reports back to him he has figured out which bids match up to which hotels on hotwire. This may be a good option since you are just staying one or two nights. You can save a little money here and spend it on the main part of your trip.
