What cable do i need?
Also i hear the Holiday Express Inn,Vista Way
is the ideal place to stay nr Disney.

 

You just need a bog standard ethernet cable. Sometimes they include them with your broadband boxes or computer. Otherwise it's a couple of quid from somewhere like argos. I've got a couple i'll be bringing with me incase anyone else needs one.

Are you flying out earlier that you need a hotel? I'm looking to stay at the comfort Inn in Buena Vista. They have been doing some awesome deals of $35 a night stay. It's currently $51 a night in mid July if i book.

 

As I type I am in the Royal Plaza on Hotel Plaza Blvd. I can see Vista Way from my window. If you're looking for something really close to the complexes, the ones on Hotel Plaza Blvd are close enough. That's the street perpendicular to Downtown Disney that the only things on it are hotels- http://www.downtowndisneyhotels.com/

The Marriott village is walking distance, Fairfield Inns are the most economical Marriott brand and there's one there.

What else can I see... There are so many. For proximity look in the Lake Buena Vista area. You'll find a very wide range for rates.
But if you want my opinion, I'm partial to Marriott brands and Fairfields are quite lovely and relatively reasonable.

Daz, do you mean the HIE Lake Buena Vista? I've never stayed there but HIs tend to be consistent with their quality and fair in price. The HI SunSpree is closer to the complexes though (it is however aimed at families traveling with children). Not sure how they compare price-wise.

 

just wanna say BUMP hope life is good for you guys . about 2 months left now sweet and Spring has come to Oslo aswell

 

Hi everybody!!! hope you are fine,

I will arrive on the 9th, Disney books my flight too; I hope we all arrive at the same time so we can go together to Vista Way!!!

What kind of weather is that? I don´t think I could live in a city so cold after being used to weather of Cancun, I prefer the sun and the beach all day, 8).
