Alright CP,

The wife and I are planning a trip to Orlando/Disney World in late February here, she's registered for one of those Disney runs and we're looking to make a 10 day trip out of it.

We've got a bit of family down there so we're not completely on our own for stuff to do/things to see. But I'm struggling a bit with where to stay. Disney owned properties are out of our budget (yup, living on a mortal's salary in the non O&G world), but I also don't want to be dealing with a 30-45 minute drive back to our hotel after a day at the park.

So CP, what do you recommend for off resort accommodations? I'm thinking condo style (a kitchen would be great) accommodations, but free shuttles to the parks would be nice too.

Basically I've never been to Florida/Orlando before and I want to avoid any situations you'd see in National Lampoon's Vacation... unless it's like the cheap casino in Vegas Vacation, in which case I'm all over that.
