I don%26#39;t think that hotel is one to stay at without a car. I think you should ask your TA why they recommended it. It is very close to Disney, but not walking distance anywhere and I don%26#39;t know if they have shuttles but am pretty sure not on a Lynx bus route.

LBV is a great area to stay, and better than Idrive. But you either need to hire a car, or stay in specific locations that have good access by foot to restaurants. I can suggest some, but think you need to to toatlly re think this holiday.

Check out www.golynx.com for bus information, if in doubt I suggest sending a pm to scan60 our bus expert.

Check out the hotel website for shuttles etc and they should have something on their website re local ammenities such as shops and restaurants.

If this is where Google tells me it is (8203 World Center Dr, Orlando, FL), then you will be using any provided shuttles, taxis, or your feet to get about. No public bus service within about 1.5 miles.

I agree this location is no where near a LYNX bus line.

You may really need to consider getting a rental car or changing hotels, as taxi rides may get a little cost prohibitive going everywhere.

Does the hotel have a shuttle to the DIsney parks?

hi yes it has a shuttle bus to the disney parks and to the b.v.outlets. i booked it on the wdw uk site cos it got good reviews and it is a one bed suite rather than just one room.i paid for it in full so dont think i can change it now.maybe we will have to get a car then after all.

thanks for your quick and helpful replies

Please mbpool do reconsider getting a car. We stay every year in Lake Buena Vista and really love the area but you do need a car. It will make the difference between a good holiday and a great one.

Look at usrentacar. Best service and prices we have found.

I would get the car, and in that case the hotel will be fine.

You are near a Publix and a Walmart for food/snacks and with the car you can easily get to the shopping centers, malls, nearby restaurants, DTD and Universal. If you want to save on parking and have a break you can take the shuttles to Disney. And if you want to get out in the evening without driving, there are other nearby hotels with restaurants (incl the Marriott where I spent my honeymoon lol) and a taxi to DTD won%26#39;t be too riduculously expensive as a one off.

Look at the cost difference between hire car with insurance and using shuttle to parks (free) and taxi for nights out to restaurants or shopping.

You may find that it%26#39;s cheaper and more relaxing not to hire a car.

Check out some previous posts on this forum ref LBV without a car, there are some very good tips. Also some goods tips on the hotel review.

thanks for the help have to see what we are going to do,i did not think it was that far away from everything. we have hired a car before just did not want to this time that may have to change lol
