Orlando Travel Forum

Hi,

i have been to Orlando quite a few times and have stayed in various places - I avoid I-drive like the plague though - hate really touristy areas!

We have stayed in a few places around Kissimmee and when I visited with work last year we stayed at the Lake Buena Vista Village (next to the factory outlets) and I was considering staing here again. 1 problem - I am staying for 28 nights and even with an ahents discount it's proving to be costly. $2750.00 for a 2 bed apartment and $3335.00 for a 3 bed! I am staying mid december to mid Jan so I am aware that it is over a peak time.

I liked this as an option as it's OK if you don't drive ( I drive, it's others in our pary that don't). If they don't want to rely on us it's only $20.00 in a taxi to Universal and they even do shuttles. And then theres the option to stay on resort and if you fancy a drink theres a separate bar just over the road. Theres also the shops in the outlet.

If we stay in a villa in Kissimmee it can get quite isolated as you have to drive everywhere and obviously you can't drink - if you are in a big group you always have to compromise when sharing a car! It's generally always been to expensive to use taxis to get anywhere in Kissimmee or Davenport.

Can anyone recommend and suites similar to the LBV Village? we require 2 or 3 bed suites.

i used to live so never rented in FL, but why not pose the question to the tourist board, they can book it for you and direct you to the best option.
