Best Orlando Hotels for the money?

sfclinevandy · Coach

The Gaylord is really nice... it's new and pretty. The Cypress Gardens is also pretty nice.

If you want to stay on Disney, the Grand Floridian, Swan, Dolphin, Beach & Yacht clubs, and Boardwalk are all the nicest there on property. I personally like the Boardwalk because you can walk to Epcot, the theme is cute, and there is a really good resturant there called the Flying Fish Cafe.

I'm a dork and know way too much about Orlando because growing up we went to Disney World at least once, sometimes twice a year (like the Grisswolds going to Wally World). I have friends there too. It is an extremely cheesy, touristy place where I could never live but it's fun to visit for short trips.

I second these. Gaylord Palms is really nice as are most of the nicer Disney hotels. I would try to avoid International Drive as much as possible; let's just say its very, very touristy and probably the tackiest area of Orlando.
