Offsite hotel, nice pool and shuttle to DTD

[Mynamewastaken]

I am going out of my mind finding a reasonably priced hotel that offers a nice pool, free parking, a shuttle to DTD...Recommendations please? We are staying just 1 night to go to Discovery Cove in Feb. We are from MA so coming in from snow no doubt so my kids are going to want to swim. We are driving up from Tampa. Still looking into SW for a switch to Orlando airport if prices go lower. Thanks!

Look near old town in Kissimmee but none of these hotels will offer very good shuttle service they usually offer one shuttle in the morning and one at night none will offer a shuttle to DTD .Mostly the shuttles go magic,sea world ,or Unversal .You can try the downtown Disney area but anything will be $100 or over there.You can try Plam Park Way I know there is Comfort Inn and clarion there kind of the middle of Discovery cove and DTD.You walk from the Clarion or the comfort to downtown Disney or the Lynx bus is 2 a person for $4.50 for a day pass take the other direction and you end up over by Sea world which isn't far from Discovery cove .(hint discovery Cove is kind of waste of money they charge a lot but other then swimming with the Dolphins which is a very short thing there isn't much to do there ) Feb is off season so the rates should be cheaper so it's a good time but the weather might be a bit cold .You may want to look into a Disney value resort as they might end up costing you as much as anywhere else and has shuttles to DTD .If you make the switch to a Disney resort you get free shuttle service to and from the Orlando airport I am guessing your going to have a car so that may not matter .All the Disney resorts have more then one pool and they nice size .The sports one is pretty ok.

don't know how much it cost - always stayed there thru an exchange - but Hilton Grand Vacation at SW is next door to Discovery Cove and across the street from Seaworld.

they do have shuttle but it is not free.

Now the downtown hotels might work for you - they have special
