Crap, ya know, I don't know, I just know I pass it on I-75 everytime I go to Florida. I do know that it's right near Ocala though. Sorry.

Stay at one of the Universal Hotels. The Hard Rock is the shortest walk. I stayed at the Royal Pacific last month. The rates are around $150 per night, but they are worth it for the convenience.
Also, if you stay at a Universal Resort, you can use your room key in the parks as a FastPass. You don't have to wait in any lines at all. This is very handy on busy days when you have to wait an hour or more for a ride.
Also, if you want to eat at Emeril's, call at least two weeks in advance for a reservation. The food is very, very good.
If you'd like more info...PM me!

cant afford to stay in the park hotels. i'm going to pay 35-50/night for a hotel/motel. universal online has $90 tickets that cover universal studios, adventure island, and citywalk pass for 5 days use with expressline for the 2 parks. it sounds like a good deal. i figure do this for 2-3 days and the rest at beaches. if somehow it rains on a beach day then we're off to universal. if parking for universal is like 20 bucks a day then i'll just pay for a place that includes free shuttle service.
sorry that i'm being a pest.
any suggestions for beaches (obviously daytona which will be mobbed and i want to avoid-well maybe one day just to check it out). any beaches within reasonable drivetime from orlando thats less touristy, good parking, decent affordable food nearby, maybe a private beach we can get on to.
if any of you guys decide to vacation in CT (wait, i needed a minute to stop laughing) feel free to bug me.

I don't see you using a 5 day pass....but that sounds like a good deal since it includes the fastpass. With fastpass, you will only need one day for each park. Just get there when the gates open!!!!
There are a ton of cheap hotels in and around Orlando. I've stayed there for $29 per night at a nice hotel because I picked up a coupon at a Florida Turnpike rest stop!!!
Definitely go to Daytona, it will be packed probably...but that is what makes it fun!! Plus you can drive by the speedway. There are several FLCEGer's in and around the Daytona and Orlando area that would probably love another excuse for a meet!!!

Last time I checked parking was only $6for the day, but if you go aftfer 6PM (to hit a club or something)parking is free.
Daytona is nice, but if you just want to hang out at the beach go to Cocoa Beach...or anything along A1A in that area, it is a lot less expensive with a lot less people. I work across the street from the main Cocoa Beach beach and nothing is majorly expensive.
