 What! No Car Hire in Orlando!
 This weeks feature is about visiting Orlando without having a rental vehicle and the task of finding suitable self-catering accommodation. We always recommend everyone to rent a car or van when visiting Orlando - it gives you that vital freedom to get around when you want to - and go wherever you want. But we also understand that there are circumstances when renting a vehicle is just not possible. So where to stay? Well the obvious answer would seem to be one of the Disney Properties and this is OK if you are just visiting the Disney Parks but not so good if you want to get up on I-Drive (maybe shopping?) and for visiting the Universal Parks, Sea World and Aquatica or Wet n' Wild.
Here is our first recommendation: Staybridge Suites
