Where to stay offsite?

[Andrew Bichard]

I have booked Boardwalk Villas for my next trip to WDW, but I need somewhere to stay for the first three nights.

I use a wheelchair and assume all Orlando hotels will have Handicap Accessible accomodations.

I cannot transfer to a regular car, & my wife can't drive, HA vans are expensive, so I won't be renting. There are very few HA cabs in Orlando.

Idealy, I want a nice hotel, within sidewalk distance of Sea World & shopping, or at least on I drive trolley or Lynx bus route (without changing buses)

Once we check in to Boardwalk, we will be on site at WDW for long enough to get 'Disneyed-out' so somewhere off-site for these first three nights would be preferred.

And Universal is a total no-no. Their HA arrangements are not as good as Disney's. I have been there once... never again!

Hi Andrew.

I would suggest you look into the Peabody Hotel, which is on I-Drive near the convention center. They are very close to Pointe Orlando, which is a very large shopping complex. I have stayed there one time before moving down here. Their web site does not say anything about accessible rooms, but I called them and they do have several.
