Need recs on a hotel for one night good for kids!!!

[mommy2paisley]

Hey! We're going to be going to Disney Oct. 2-11, but we have a 12-hour drive, not counting stops. So, we're going to drive all night and check into a hotel on Friday, Oct. 1, let DH get some good rest that night, then head to our Disney hotel Oct. 2 (yes, we know we probably won't be able to get our room right away, but plan on heading to the parks right away.)

So, we need a hotel for this one night. We have a four-year-old DD who I'd like to be able to entertain (since she'll have been in the car over 12 hours) and keep out of the room so that DH can get some good rest!

We've found several hotels we like, but they're more expensive than we want to spend since most of our $ will be spent at Disney for the next 11 days!!!!

So, can you give me any good suggestions in the $100/night range? Hopefully close to Disney where we don't have to drive very far the next day? Thanks!!!

I suggest Buena Vista Suites, which has a separate living and bedroom area, includes a hot, free breakfast and parking and has no resort fee. It's a very short drive to WDW.

The rooms are nearly double the size of a Disney value.

Is there anything at the hotel for my DD and I to do outside of the room besides just a swimming pool?

It's about a 10 minute drive to Downtown Disney. There is a large outlet mall about 10 minutes away as well.

There is a large mini-golf complex about a mile away.

If you want to pick up some supplies for your hotel stay, there is a Wal-Mart about a mile away.
