Need help deciding which area to stay?

O.k here is our plans so far. We are flying into Tampa Bay (it is what is available). We are going to be there for a week in early November.

We are planning on one day at Disney( our daughter is only 2 1/2), one day at Sea World and one day at Busch Gardens.

What I would really like is a condo/house rental as we would be able to cook some of our own meals and we would have more room. Travelling with Grandparents as well !

I want to be able to relax by a nice pool/beach as an option. We also love the mini golf. We stayed in the Indian Shores area last time we were there but think it might be a bit out of the way this time.

So, any suggestions? Are we best to split our time between Orlando and the Gulf coast area or is there a mid point that would not require driving for 2 hours to get somewhere?

Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I would look into renting a Timeshare for the week. We own at Orange Lake, and they have a World class putt-putt golf course there. If you are interested in the Timeshare rental option, whether it be Orange Lake or any other Resort, let me know, and I will give you some sites to check for rentals.

I would try to split the week between the 2 areas rather than driving between the 2. You%26#39;ll end up racking up lots of miles on a rental vehicle which might end up being costly. I don%26#39;t think I would try for a timeshare rental....I%26#39;ve just heard so many bad things about them but if you were intrested, you could do a search in this forum (look near the top of the posting, there is a little bar that should have ';Search in Orlando Forum'; and then another empty bar that you can input any topic).

I would start out the week in Orlando and there are many hotels in the area that have 2 bedroom suites and a small kitchen as well that would suit your needs. Do your 2 days here and then head back to the Tampa area to finish your week. Again, I would find a hotel that has small kitchenettes available.
