Staying in the Orlando Area

This month my layovers are in Orlando, and we stay on International Drive. While my preference for hotels is the Disney Resort Hotel chain, since my company is paying for it, we all know that beggers can't be choosers. International Drive is actually a great place to stay for all the activities in the Orlando area. It is just a trolly ride away from Wet 'n Wild's water park. I was able to purchase a $49 year long pass, only good on week days, but perfect for my long layovers in the Orlando area. The trolly ride is only $1 each way and runs up and down International Drive every 20 minutes of so. There is a Ponderosa which charges $4 for an all you can eat breakfast. The coffe is $2 more, and not really that good, so I just take the coffe from my hotel room and order water for my meal. If you load up on enough, it should even take you through lunch time without another meal. The water park is a great value on the pass, and since Ocean World opened up a new water park, right down the street, I imagine that the drop off in business has prompted them to offer a good deal like this. Best thing is, the lines are almost non-existant for the rides, since I guess everyone is over at the other park. For me, a water park is a water park, unless it is Disney, which I consider much higher quality, but for ease of access from our International Drive layover hotel, it is perfect.
