During the conference I'll be at the Orlando World Center Marriott - which appears rather close to Epcot. Now I managed to add an extra day to my stay (Monday 10/20), so now I get to decide if I stay there for another night, or move someplace else. The Marriott clocks in at $230+ a night, which seems excessive for my needs, so I wonder if I should go to the resort for a night at the Pop whatever, for half that - or really go on the cheap and find someplace elsewhere in Orlando - or take the same Money and live the boyhood fantasy and book a room in the Contemporary for a night. Any opinions from seasoned WDW visitors?

I know I'll at least want to hit Epcot while I'm there - any advice on the various ticket media available? it seems my hotel sells half day tickets to the park, but I need to check park hours to see what really will be open when my conference shuts down for the night, but I think you have to buy those in advance and I know I'll be stuck with coworkers for most of those evenings.

Which leads me to inquire about dinning recommendations outside the parks in the Orlando area - I should at least be able to leverage a good meal or two out of my colleagues.

Check hotels on US192 near WDW . Past the I4 and before and right after Old town there is nice hotels for really cheap prices . From US192 ther is Lynx Buses from there to WDW or you can rent a Car in MCO and stay on US192 this would be way cheap than the World Center Mariott .

I think i know which one it is . It is the one surround by Intl drive and Apopka Vineland . Next year is you plan on going back in Orlando area i would say go to Universal Studios and check out the new Harry Potter stuff .
