melski94 Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Right now, I have a reservation at a hotel near the Port Canaveral however, I'm thinking of canceling it and booking an Airbnb. It just seems a better fit in terms of price and space. The places I'm looking in Orlando at are either north of the airport or Park Central. Many questions: Where would the ideal location be to stay in Orlando? We don't need to be near the parks but we are going to Kennedy Space Center the day after we arrive so would like to be near a highway. My college daughter is spending the first week of her Spring Break near Ft Lauderdale. What is the best way to get her to Orlando? Bus, train? How is travel to the KSC and Port Canaveral on both a Saturday and Sunday? Which rental car company is near the port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakerette Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 The fastest way to get your daughter to Orlando from Ft. Lauderdale is to take a Train. Their is an Amtrak train station in Ft.Lauderdale take goes to Orlando and to Kissimmee which is about 20-30 minutes SW of Orlando. their is some places near the Orlando Airport which are relatively inexpensive and there is also some places near port Canaveral. for a list of hotels/motels that offer sleep, Park, & cruise go to https://www.goport.com/snooze-park-cruise or https://www.goport.com/fly-snooze-cruise/orlando-airport All of those places offer transportation to the cruise ships from the hotel/Motel on Embarkation Day & back to the Hotel/Motel on Disembarkation Day.

One of the airport hotels on Semoran Blvd is probably a good spot. 19 hours ago, melski94 said: My college daughter is spending the first week of her Spring Break near Ft Lauderdale.

Inexpensive, but good quality. https://www.redcoachusa.com/ 19 hours ago, melski94 said: How is travel to the KSC and Port Canaveral on both a Saturday and Sunday?
