MalynKiggs Posted March 6, 2011 #1 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Just wanted to run a few plans by someone more experienced than myself. A friend and I are cruising RCI out of Port Canaveral 4/8-4/11. We will be flying into MCO the morning of 4/8 and were planning to use a shuttle service (maybe Travelynx??) to the port. After getting off the boat on 4/11, we are planning to stay in Orlando for the night and fly out of MCO on Tuesday 4/12. We would like to visit Downtown Disney Monday night, and are wondering where we should stay and how we should get there. From reading other people's posts, I'm thinking maybe the best option would be to rent a car for 1 day at Port Canaveral and return it the next day at the airport. So, I guess what I'm asking is... does renting a car sound like the best option? And... any suggestions on where to stay convienent to Downtown Disney, but also fairly cheap (less than $70 preferably). Would it be better to stay by the airport and drive to Downtown Disney that night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two La Quinta's near the airport that can be had for <$70/night. Just make sure you do not buy gas for your car at either of the two gas stations on Semoran Blvd. (Shell & Suncoast Energys) mentioned here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/orlando/624077-mco-gas-station-ripoff.html They have been fleecing unsuspecting tourists for years.
