After going to sleep at 2am – we were all pretty excited – we awoke at 6am to get ready for our 7.20am shuttle to Disney. Okay, so our hotel is listed as 3.3 miles from Disney and has free shuttles to there, so I thought fantastic, a 10 minute ride maybe 15 minutes max, right? Wrong. An hour after leaving we had been to Universal Studios and Sea World (both on the other side of Orlando) and we finally arrived at Magic Kingdom. So our $25.95/night total hotel wasn't the bargain it seemed. Don't get me wrong – it had huge rooms and a clean bathroom (even with 2 sinks). In hindsight, that $110/night Disney 'value' (read: 3 stars) hotel would have honestly been better – we ended up spending the best part of $200 for our return trip to the airport – a major cost that would have been avoided with Disney Resort's free shuttle. Also we could have slept in each morning till 8am and still been at the park at opening and a similar scenario at night. Oh and there is extended hours for Disney hotel guests. Yeah, so don't stay offsite for Disney. Seriously.
