There are many options for accommodations in the Orlando area
Exit 68 off of I-4 is the closest of the three hotel and restaurant areas to the Walt Disney
World theme parks. There are a variety of hotel chains and restaurants within a 10-20
minute drive of the Disney parks. One thing I'll point out is that in certain areas you'll be
challenged by some traffic bottlenecks that will make your drive longer. Exit 62 is a bit
farther out, but still a short drive to the theme parks. The added distance means you'll save
$20-$30 per night for similar accommodations when compared with the prices you'll pay
for the hotels at exit 68.
A little further out, but still within a 20 minute drive of the Disney theme parks is Inter-
national Drive. Hotels and accommodations in this area are a bit cheaper than those at the
two I-4 exits, and you'll have the added benefit of being closer to SeaWorld and Universal
Orlando.Thismakesitagreatlocationifyou'replanningonvisitingeitherorbothofthese

Other things to consider when staying offsite
Here are some other things to consider when deciding where to stay in the Orlando area:
• See if the hotel offers a free breakfast, and whether it's a full, hot breakfast
or just a continental breakfast. A full breakfast can easily save you $10-$15
per person per day.
• See if the hotel offers free shuttle service to the parks. Remember though if
your bus is stopping at all the parks, you may have a lengthy commute. You
may still want to consider renting a car.
• See if kids stay free, and what age is considered a 'kid'. Ages vary by hotel.

Having a place to keep leftovers, drinks, and snacks cold can save you
money in the long run.
