Hello!
This will be our first time doing the theme parks and staying off property. My husband recently started a PT job working of Hilton and gets great discounts on hotels so we are going to give it a try. My issue is that his employee benefit limits the number of rooms at the employee rate so we are unable to find a hotel within a few miles that has more than 1 night available. I can find a few nights in a row at a hotel in Lake Mary or single nights at various hotels in Orlando. Does anyone know what to expect for travel time to the Disney or Universal Parks from Lake Mary. Will morning traffic cause significant delays in travel time? Ultimately I am trying to decide if I want to change rooms every night or have to drive from Lake Mary. Also, my daughter will be competing in a gymnastics meet near Clearwater during this trip, so Lake Mary will add travel time for that as well. I should mention that his employee discount is very significant so we are not open to staying somewhere that would not allow us to use his discount, that was the whole reason he took the job
So, different hotel each night or stay a further distance from all activities?
Thanks for your help DIS
