The family invert and Skycoaster at Fun Spot were fun, other than that it's mostly your basic flat rides.

I doubt you'll find any hotels in that price range in Orlando, but wait until the last minute and check Hotwire or Priceline. That might be your best bet.

Just checked Hotwire, and found that I could get the Extended Stay America by Universal for $55 tonight as a last minute deal, and it includes breakfast.

the only thing is that i am going to be very tired when i leave fun spot.and i will not have a car either.i am going to be using the lynx transit bus to get around.link #37 goes near fun spot and goes to universal orlando and from there i can walk to the extended stay on major blvd but i really don,t want to take a bus not even a lynx bus when i exit the park at 12 midnight.i just want something walking distance from the park to crash into after spending a whole day at 2 different parks.

You'd be infinitely better off budgeting for rideshares rather than trying to depend on our Lynx bus system. Especially after midnight.

I lived in Orlando a hundred years ago, and what I remember about the busses is that it takes an hour to go a twenty minute drive down the road.

No one's going to tell you this in a nice way... Don't ask about lines. No one knows. there is a website that attempts to help with that question though. And another website too.

And Google is awesome when looking for the prices and locations of hotels. It looks to me that you might find a few in your price range. I didn't add your dates to the linked Google search though. Look at the reviews to see how good or bad they are.

And good luck.

Story time- Reminds me of being a young enthusiast. A very long time ago, I got my bonus check from working at Cedar Point, and I used that money to take a round trip flight to Orlando. My co-workers at Cedar Point moved there to work at Disney and Universal, so I slept on their couch for about a week and spent the days visiting the parks. Most days, at least one friend went to a park with me. But on my first day, I walked about an hour to get to Magic Kingdom, because none of my friends had the day off. Really, I walked to a hotel on the outskirts of Magic Kingdom, and then hitchhiked on the hotel bus to the park. When the park closed, I tried to take the same bus to the same hotel, but I ended up getting on the wrong bus and got very lost. One of my friends came and got me.

I enjoyed that adventure so much that, a year later, after working another season at Cedar Point, I moved in with these friends and worked at Universal. I might still be working there if the 9/11 attack didn't happen. Those were strange times.

(I don't think hitchhiking on a hotel bus would work these days. They probably require some kind of identification.)

Depends on the driver I suppose, and if you are willing to tip. There was a time I drove the hotel bus and people frequently asked me to take them wherever since their hotel was taking forever. I never left those people behind, they were always the best tippers.

when i am at the lynx bus stop is there a way to find out when the next bus is coming?i live in new york.some bus stops show when the next bus is coming and the bus stops that don,t have the display.you can check on your phone when the next bus is coming.when i am at the lynx bus stop is there a way to find out when the next bus is coming?

I'm concerned for you traveling alone, seeing that you can't figure out how to answer these questions yourself.

If I were you, I'd Google "Linx Orlando bus schedule" and see if that answers your question.

Now I think maybe you're trolling us.

I think the lack of... You know... Basic punctuation, grammar, research skills... Was a tell tale sign.

Am I misremembering or wasn’t there, just a couple days ago, a near-identical post with concerns about a near-identical Orlando trip, however ill-advised?
I laughed because it seemed like the kind of trip that only the young and broke would attempt.

Yes, but there were no questions in that post, which I assume is why it was deleted. I was actually in the middle of replying to that thread when it was removed.

Me too.

Questions about my upcoming trip to Vegas. I got no money for anything. Tell me about Circus Circus…

Back in college, when the Warriors played in Oakland, my roommate and I scored tickets somehow. We had probably one stadium beer more than would be advisable, because instead of taking BART back to Berkeley, we decided to take the airport connector and get on the first flight to anywhere. Luckily for us the first flight to anywhere was Vegas. Somewhat unluckily for us, this was on America West, which at the time served free booze--exactly what we did not need.

So we land late at night, more than pleasantly drunk, absolutely no idea what we are going to do, with a return flight scheduled late the next day. Luckily, the flight crew took pity on us, and let us tag along in the shuttle they were taking to their hotel. We were able to get a last minute room and crashed long enough to get through the next day.

Being young and dumb can be a lot of fun, now that I think about it. But being broke on top of that makes it a lot harder. I was working part time in a financial software startup that one of the Haas B-School professors had started, and was making enough to make up for the dumb part of young.

I'll bet its much easier to find a $50 hotel room in Vegas than Orlando, you might even be able to throw in a hooker for that price.

I’d be looking at Knoebels instead.

I didn't do enough fun/dumb things in those years. I did get drunk at a Microsoft party at Tao in the Venetian once, and barfed in the restroom. The security guard seemed genuinely surprised that I was a guest staying in the hotel. I also got very sick from a sinus infection, and the fever got particularly bad just as we were sitting down for a Blue Man Group show. Security thought I was drunk when lying on a bench in the lobby, but my future wife explained the illness. BMG manager invited me an friends back any time to see the show for free, and refunded our tickets.

So I guess I made up for it a little between marriages.

I just assumed that was a given seeing as it is located adjacent to both Orlando and Vegas.

I think they are included with the hotel resort fees.

For the hotel or the hooker?

Goodness, can you imagine a Knoebel’s hooker? Yikes.
