Disney World & Florida
Thinking of going to Disney with the family. I see that Kissimmee is close
by and has cheaper hotel rates than maybe staying on the resort. Any suggestions on where to stay? Also what time of the year would be best in terms of weather and avoiding long waits for the rides? Also would like to go to Clearwater Beach . Heard Pier 60 is very nice. Would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks. |

Weather is great and crowds are low. Stay on the Disney property. Park your car - save the time you will waste jockeying back and forth in the traffic. There are bargain hotels on the net right on Disney property. You can stay in some of the hotels for $79 a night. Do not go near Disney over the Thanksgiving or Christmas to New Year Breaks. It gets so busy - they close down the parking lots. But between Thanksgiving and Christmas - it is empty again. |

Been there and totally agree with the above post even if it is a few dollars a day more than off the property. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + The News Guy(Mike) - Seinfeld Lists + (two mirrored sites) + http://membres.lycos.fr/tnguym + http://waveprohosting.com/tnguym + All things Seinfeld; scripts, trivia, lists, +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |

Heard Pier 60 is very nice. Would appreciate any and all advice. Thanks. We went to Disneyworld in 1999 on December 14th. It was cold and drizzly, but we didn't have to wait ONCE in line - not even for the premium rides. Frankly, I thought the weather was much better than sweating my butt off in July. We stayed in a no-tell motel somewhere about 5 miles from Disney. It cost about $50 a nite. No pool or any of that crap, but there was a charming little bar just next door that we could stagger back from without driving. All in all it was a great visit and I would love to go again. SD |

May, Jan, and Oct. are the best months. Weather is nice and lines are
low. The beginning of the Thanksgiving week isn't bad, but, Thanksgiving on is terrible. As someone else said Dec. 1-15 is good also. The cheapest Disney hotels are the All star Resorts. If you like camping Ft. Wilderness is fabulous with lots of free things to do with kids. You can also have 10 people on a site. If you go during the above off seasons you can just roll into Kissimee on 192 and practically pick any non-fancy hotel for $35 a night. Hotels are plenty and demand is low. (Of course this excludes Thanksgiving week, Memorial Day, and MLK weekend) If you have a large group try renting your own house. We've rented houses off 192 with 6 bedrooms, private pool, and 3 baths for 16 people that ran $70 pp for 7 nights. Here are some fav websites : www.flhotels.com www.orlandoescape.com www.lionsluxuryvillas.com If you don't choose Disney property then stay on 192 or in Lake Buena VIsta areas for the least driving.

Please check out the following websites before you go anywhere near Disney.
They have the most concise information....and there is a LOT of information to have. www.mousesavers.com www.wdwig.com BTW, I am in no way affiliated with either website. Christy Phil 4:13 |
