What is a good cheap hotel in the disney area?|183605

We are flying out 3 days before our holiday starts then staying in the contempory for 2 weeks so does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap but good hotel for 3 adults, a 17 year old and a 2 year old (hoping to squeeze into one room!) thanks

The Wyndham Resort on International Drive is very basic but it_s cheap and if you_re only staying there for a couple of nights it_d be fine.

Very cheap rate - about $50/night. Full-size, fully-equipped kitchens with refrigerator, stovetop, microwave, and coffee maker in every suite.Walt Disney World 12 mi. For this price, it is not a great hotel. But it is a reasonable quality hotel. You may refer to the customer reviews here:

If you_re planning to go to Disney World I would suggest Disney_s Pop Century Resort. It is only about $82 per night and they give your transportation around the Walt Disney World Resort and to your hotel from Orlando International Airport free.

Here is Pop Century_s Website:

The Seralago hotel in KIssimmee you can all fit in the 2 room suite. You may be charged for the extra adult but the 17 year old is free. Depending on when you go you are looking at 100-135/night. Visit their web site at seralagohotel.com, yes the pictures are accurate. Stayed there 2 years in a row and planning on staying their again in April.

the all star is prolly the cheapest on disney property, but search you prolly can find cheaper.

The motel 6 is actualy not bad. It is clean and basic but safe.

The Roach Motel

motel 6. or rent an RV for 2 weeks.

Is it fun and safe to take the Amtrak from Washinton to Souther Cali?|144944

I was wondering because I heard that trees fall and the Amtrak has lots of accidents? I always hear about them having problems. Also they don_t have pics of their cabins on their web site just those cartoon drawings of them so I don_t know if they are comfortable for long trips or not? I wish we had better trains in this country like they do in Europe.

Yes, it is safe. I know Amtrak gets a lot of bad publicity, but the reality is that driving is just as dangerous. I wouldn_t worry about safety.

The only thing is that Washington to Southern California is a fairly long trip, I think like 20 hours. But it_s very scenic and nice.

What is the name of the bridge that connects you to Clearwater Beach?|134034

We drove from Orlando to Clearwater Beach, FL and went over this long bridge across the water. I was just wondering if anyone knew the name of it. Is it the seven mile bridge because it seemed to be that long?

A lot depends upon which highway you took. It sounds like you were on I-275 and that would be the Howard Franklin Bridge, crossing Tampa Bay. If you were on Florida 60, that could have been the Courtney Campbell Causeway across Tampa Bay. Farther West it_s the Memorial Causeway, a much shorter span. This is the very last span taking you to Clearwater Beach. Coming from the South from Sand Key is a very short bridge on SR 699.

From Tampa, you would have taken Rt. 60 over the Courtney Campbell Causeway, which isn_t as long as the Howard Franklin or the Gandy Bridges. You would have driven across the city of Clearwater and across the Memorial Causeway, which is much shorter, into the beach area.
