You can be close enough to Florida's Walt Disney World to almost smell the wood-fired pizza baking at Via Napoli when you stay in Kissimmee. Just 10 miles south of the famous amusement park, Kissimmee offers inexpensive motel accommodations for the whole family or couples looking for a few thrill rides and a quiet place to stay. Save your hard-earned bucks to buy some Mickey Mouse ears and photographs with Cinderella or Pluto.
Close for Comfort
- Less than 2 miles from Disney World, Clarion Suites Maingate provides free transportation to and from the park, allowing you to skip the hassle of parking and taking the long hike to the entrance. Amenities include free full hot breakfast for two, outdoor heated pool, hot tub, poolside cabana bar, kiddie pool and game room. After a long day at the park, you'd be glad there are a half-dozen restaurants within walking distance of the Clarion. Add another mile to your trip and you'll find the Howard Johnson Tropical Palms motel, which offers breakfast, lunch and room service for an extra fee.
Sleep Like Champions
- With 15 acres of tropical-style landscaping and a private man-made beach on a peaceful lake, Champions World Resort is close enough to Disney World to make it convenient, but far away enough to enjoy a bit of peace and quiet. A deluxe poolside room is close to the indoor pool, playground and shuttle stop for the 5-mile ride to the park. Less a resort than an upscale motel, Champions has two additional outdoor pools, whirlpool, kiddie pool and full-service restaurant. Kids get free breakfast when accompanied by one paying adult.
Bring the Pooch
- Six miles from Disney World, Red Roof Inn Kissimmee allows both kids under 17 and the family pet to stay free. Take an airport shuttle to the motel and you won't need a car, because the Red Roof shuttle is ready to take you the amusement park. Choose a suite or select a room with microwave and fridge for extra in-room convenience. The motel is surrounded by restaurants ranging from fast food to Middle Eastern, steak and Chinese. Amenities include a pool, hot tub, free Wi-Fi and truck and bus parking.
Family Style
- The Seralago Hotel and Suites caters especially to families with children. Less than 5 miles from Disney World, Seralago offers kids' suites that accommodate two adults and three children, with kid-oriented themes, lively wall paintings, one set of bunk beds and a junior bed for the children and a king bed in the separate adult area. The on-site restaurant specializes in family-style dining with buffet or table service, and two kids can eat free with each paying adult. The kids can also get anything from pizza to popcorn in the Seralago food court, while adults can enjoy snacks and a refreshing tropical drink at the poolside bar.
