Also, if you have a Disney guidebook like the Unofficial Guide or the Passporter, they recommend good off-site hotels.

Personally, I've stayed at the Day's Inn Maingate East (near the old town of Orlando) and it wasn't too bad.

I've never had a bad experience with Princeline. They only use national-chain hotels. So you're not checking into some creepy, dirty, rent-by-the-hour place.
