| HOT DEAL!!! Oh My God!!! I just got the best best best deal ever!! I've been toying with going to Orlando a day early so we can start our first day off right away. This works well because there is a direct flight from Rochester at 6PM, lands at 9.... Anyway, the trick is to find a cheap hotel and not have your extra transportation leg cost you more than the cheap hotel is saving you. For example, you could stay at Pop or AStars for under a $100 and be on site already, or you could stay off site for way less, but then you've got to figure out how to get from the airport to the offsite hotel and the offsite hotel to your onsite hotel. Plus we want a grocery stop and we need transportation to universal.... Anyway, hopped on Expedia this morning for kicks. Found Amerisuites LBV for (trumpets and angels sound here) $34.97. That's it, and it includes breakfast and taxes and a king size bed. I didn't book it right away because then I had determine our transportation options. We originally considered a hotel with a free airport shuttle and a towncar (last time tiffany charged us $125 for the three legged round trip). Rental cars were too much for the 7 days. Cab from Amerisuites (only 3 miles from Disney) are reported at $20 a pop. Then I saw a post about Sunray transportation. Figured I would call and see. I explained, he mumbled and did some figures and (those trumpets again) $130 for MCO to Amerisuites to BWV to RPR to MCO. WOW!!! I didn't even ask for the Mouseforless.com discount because I thought he was hooking me up as it was! So for $5 more than my towncar two years ago and $35 at a hotel I got one more leg of transportation and I get a full first day on property rather than an early morning flight, layover in Atlanta, MCO arrival at noon or later and then a transfer. I've decided not to book the hotel for the last night. Our flight that day is at 6:10PM, Universal parks close at 7 that night. Sunray is picking us up at 4, so I didn't feel like I was missing too much... I might change my mind about that... |
