Hi
This will be my 6th trip in the last 10 years. We've stayed at quite a few places and could do with some advice.
I'm after an off-site hotel with a shuttle service to WDW, Seaworld and Universal. We don't drive as we use the shuttles and goto the parks every day. The shuttle service needs to be regular. It's essential that we can get a buffet breakfast. I would also like it if there was a nice bar where we can get a drink after visiting the park. We tend to give the kids all day in the park and when we get back and they've dropped off to sleep we can put them in the stroller and get a beer whilst we plan the next day.
I always stay for 21 nights. Recently we've stayed at the Quality Inn Plaza which is great as it has good restaurant and a bar that serves food until 11pm and doesn't close until midnight. Unfortunately the shuttle is a rip-off ($14 each return ie $56 per day). The shuttle does however run late (10:15 pm from Epcot) and many times during the day.
We're currently looking at the Best Western Lakeside which is closer to WDW. However I'm concerned that the shuttle is infrequent. The last shuttle from Epcot for example is 8:15 pm (ie no ROE). I've got this from their web site. A friend has also told me that the buffet was poor and the bar closes very early.
Any other suggestions are appreciated. We need to make sure its not too expensive however as we don't want to shorten our stay.
Thanks
Darren
