Boy, am I last minute charlie or what!??!
We are leaving for Fla. tomorrow bright and early and I can't wait!
Disney/Orlando is just one aspect of our trip. We are on a very, very tight budget. We have three kids (11,9,3) and figured the older ones are growing so fast that we wanted to get to WDW before they don't want to go with us! Anyway, to make a long story shorter, we have a place to stay in Florida (with a relative) on the east coast (1/2hr south of Datona) and the drive is about 1-1/2 to 2 hours each way. I tried looking into hotels in the WDW area that we could return to maybe mid-day to unwind, use the pool, and maybe our 3 yo can take a nap BUT, they are all so expensive and then there is the factor of 4 vs. 5 in a room! So, does anyone know the names of hotels they would recommend that isn't too far away, and not too expensive??
Of course when I saw the Marriott posts (20.02) I called but I was told that they are booked up from the 8th to the 25th -- I will try again to see if there are cancellations but I really doubt that people would cancel at least 48 hours prior if they are charged regardless! I'm sorry this is so long and hopefully when I return I'll be able to have pointers to offer others--!! aside from don't wait till the last minute!
Thanks!
