WDW and US/IOA are about 20 minutes away - so there is nothing that is close to everything.

do you want close to WDW or US/IOA?

now SW is kinda of in the middle.

where will the majority of your time be spend?

transportation - offsite transportation is iffy at best. I would suggest renting a car.

when are you going?

can recommend La Quinta Inn & suites - there have been complaints about noise

HI,
1) WE R GOING TO COME IN OCTOBER
2) WE DON'T KNOW WHERE TO STAY... IN INTERNATIONAL DRIVE OR KISSMEE
3) WE PREFER TO USE THE FREE SHUTTLE BUS
4) WE WANT THE HOTEL TO BE IN THE SAME LEVEL OF rADISSON RESORT PARK AWAY
5) WE STAYED THERE IN OUR FIRST VISIT IN 2001 IN THE ABOVE HOTEL, DO U THINK WE SHOULD STAY INSIDE WDW FOR THIS TIME
6) THE CHOOSEN HOTEL SHOULD HAVE THE FACILITY OF FREE SHUTTLE BUS TO WDW,IOA,SW,US
7) WE WILL STAY FOR 13 DAYS (MY WIFE + I + MY CHILD 4 YEARS)
8) IS VALUE RESORT IS GREAT VALUE FOR US FOR INSIDE WDW IF WE CHOOSE IT
THANKS A LOT,
BASEM

WDW and US/IOA are NOT the great friends they are in Ca.

WDW provides transportation to WDW.

us/ioa has it own onsite resorts.

but yes if you don't want to drive then staying onsite at WDW is a great plan.

you can easily (or not so easily) walk to US/IOA from offsite places.

you can't walk to any WDW theme parks from offsite. WDW now provides transportation back and forth to the airport too for free. DME - Disney magicial express. they really don't want their guests to even think about going offsite.

I love Pop Century. look on mousesavers for discounts for WDW resorts.

Radisson Parkway has gone down hill. while the Radisson Celebration is still fine! (at least I think it is)
here a link to it

In your situation I would stay onsite at a Disney resort, maybe a value like Pop Century or a moderate like Port Orleans, for 7 nights. The transportation is very good, better than any offsite shuttle.

Then you can take a taxi to a different hotel near Universal Studios, maybe one of their onsite resorts or something on international drive. That would be close to both US/IA and Seaworld.

With a 4 year old it will be nice to stay at a disney world onsite resort.

You're staying for 13 days. I'd split your stay. Stay at POP, Disney will transport you from the airport to your resort for free (DME). Then stay at a hotel on international drive. Book a car service from POP to your resort then from your final resort to the airport.

I agree with the posters that suggest you split your stay.

2 weeks at one hotel is too much generally anyway.

We stayed at Comfort Inn Universal Area for 17 days and we liked the hotel a lot... It was nice, clean, free breakfast, free bus to WDW, universal and a busstop to seaworld right outside the hotel. You can walk to I-drive (takes 5 min) and best of all... It's cheap....
