Tell me about Magic Castle

[Barb D]

How long does it take to get from the Magic Castle to, say the Magic Kingdom?

How much is it (typically) per night? Their web page doesn't give much info! (It does say 3.5 miles to WDW, but WHERE in WDW?)

Hi Barb! If you're talking about The Magic Castle Inns & Suites then it's only about a 15 minute drive to the entrance of WDW.

When we stayed there we got a room rate of $29.99 US per night and a great complimentary breakfast in the morning which can really add up to a lot of savings if you've got children with you. The rooms and the hotel itself are very plain but also very clean with nice staff. If you're just looking for a clean place to rest your bones after a long day in the parks then this is it!

Photobear Sam has some pics that she took of the suites there....maybe she'll pop by and send them to you! Hope this helps.

Hi Barb

Hi Cindy (sammi)

Well here I am the person with the Magic Castle pics. We loved our stay there and found it to be quite clean.

If you email me I will send you pictures and a great description of the place.

I just anwered someone about it earlier this week and I gave directions to grocery stores and such so I could copy that and send it to you too.

As sammi said, we had the suite and paid $33 a night for the internet special which is the same rate as AAA or CAA (Canada).

Hoping to hear from you,

Samantha

I finally got through to them on the phone this morning. (The first time I tried I stayed on hold for 20 minutes before giving up.) They offered me $28.99/night + $6 for a rollaway so I could have 5 in a room. We may do this for the first night, and maybe more. We're currently booked in 2 rooms at the All Stars at $55 each, so $35 vs $110 would be quite a savings. We're still hoping for the SoG rate at the Contemp, too. The options are getting confusing! Thanks for the info!

Check out the Comfort Inn LBV first! It is in a much better area and only $35 a night! I've stayed at both, and the CI is much better in my book. I've heard others say the same, too.

Good luck!
