Need Help with Selecting a Hotel in Orlando Florida

[Perita Pradia]

Hello Tripatini Pro's.

 

I am traveling to Orlando with my family in September.  We will have 2-3 children age 2 with us.  I am looking at the Fantasy World Resort in Kissimmee, FL which is approx 3 miles from the Orlando Airport.  If you are familiar with this Resort, amenities, cleanliness etc. please chime in and let me know ASAP if you would recommend it.  If you have any suggestions for great, clean locations other than this one, please advise.  I have never been to Orlando and want the experience to be wonderful; for me it begins with a great overnight accommodation.

 

Also, if anyone is familiar with The Shades of Green (military) Resort, please share your experience with me.  We are retired military and can book at this facility.

 

Thanks and looking forward to your timely responses.

Hi, Perita! While we wait for others to weigh in here, just a heads-up: I decided to toss this question up on my Facebook wall, and though I asked folks to click through to this forum, naturally they just left this on my wall:

  Linda Campbell O'Keefe Kissimmee is not Orlando but it is close to the Disney complex. Fantasy World website says there is a MANDATORY resort fee that is not included in the room rate of this resort. And it's not 3 miles from the airport, probably a 20-30 minute drive depending on traffic.

Also, a question: what's your budget? Very critical to know that...

Thak you for the information.  Budget is not a real problem, but the location could be a deal breaker.

[David Paul Appell]

If you could also be more specific about your location requirements, that would also be very helpful. Proximity to airport, Disney, downtown, International Drive, other parks...?

Thanks Terry,

 

I appreciate the information.  I think we are going to go ahead with booking the Shades of Green Hotel.  I love Tripatini and being able to connect with people all around the country when you are going to a new location.  If you are ever on the East coast, Petersburg, VA is a quaint little town with lots of Civil War History and some of the oldest buildings in the US.  My husband and I own The Destiny Inn B&B and we enjoy having folks from all over come to our inn.  We are on line @ www.thedestinyinn.com.  Thanks again for the information.
