5pullins Posted October 2, 2016 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2016 We will be flying into MCO in 12 days. We have lined up shuttle service through Cortrans. Is there a Wal-Mart or pharmacy within walking distance from the hotel? We will need to purchase carry on wine and soft drinks. The Radisson front desk told me they have complimentary shuttle to nearby restaurants but wasn't sure about anywhere else.

mimirdh Posted October 2, 2016 #4 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I'm pretty sure there's a Burger King or a McDonald's across the street, but be very careful if you cross! I have stayed at the Radisson, Holiday Inn, and Country Inns and Suites but whenever we went out to eat we drove somewhere. You may be able to eat breakfast at Country Inns since they are sister hotels?? Maybe if you call the hotel and they can give you an idea about who delivers to the hotel or they might even have an area shuttle? Good luck!

Magellan321 Posted October 2, 2016 #5 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Here is the map.....I would either uber or see if a nice tip can get you a lift from the hotel shuttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums Just a suggestion as I'm pretty sure you will be on your honeymoon. Check out the Homewood Suites near the Radisson if you only need the night before(very clean, new, and includes breakfast). If you are in for more than one night....check out the Doubletree in Cocoa Beach for beach views. Edited October 2, 2016 by Magellan321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums I really think you would be happier with Homewood over the Radisson. Really nice pool and fresh breakfast. Most of all....new room and awesome staff. If you are not a Hilton rewards member...just sign up and you will see the special pricing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were gonna book through go port because they offer you everything;airport transfer to and from,price of hotel and shuttle to/from port. It came out to be 129$ for 2 ppl. But I'm Leary of booking that way because of my prior experience with booking through third parties.

Magellan321 Posted October 3, 2016 #12 Share Posted October 3, 2016 If it's 129 for Radisson...grab it and if you find a different option...cancel. If it Americas Best Value Inn...ummmm;). You do also have the option of staying at one of the hotels right by the airport and shuttling over in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desinico Posted October 3, 2016 #13 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Yea I just checked radisson is gone [emoji15]. All that's left is quality, holiday, days and the not so nice ones lol Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magellan321 Posted October 3, 2016 #14 Share Posted October 3, 2016 OK...just a suggestion...go to one of the "booking" sites and pick a hotel in front of MCO. The homewood, hyatt place, embassy, residence, and even country inn are nice and include breakfast. Snag one of their non prepay rates....then keep watching the go port site. Believe me things come and go often. So you will have your bases covered with no money out of pocket. If you stay by the airport...some have shuttle add ons....but Cortrans isn't a bad deal at 20 pp each way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
