I would use priceline or hotwire to grab a deal. Read betterbidding.com and biddingfortravel.comWere is the best place to stay off property but close with good prices?
When are you going and what would you like to pay?
We will just be there for one nigh, May 19th. Our budget is under 100. I know I can stay at a disney value for 95, but if I could stay somewhere close for cheaper thats a little nicer Id like to.

Under 4.5 star Orlando 12.28 miles to the airport the new hotel Hilton Bonnet Creek has been coming up for $80per night. There are some other threads on this board about that hotel. Just checked your dates and it's available.
I have stayed at Lake Buena Vista across from DTD. There is a Marriott Village with Fairfield (my favorite), Courtyard, and Spring Hill Suites.
