Huge thanks to robpmarsh for the tip. Booked myself and James up. Flying out of gatwick on vs27 on the Tuesday with rob and Jason and staying 7 nights at Rosen inn pointe Orlando.
I stayed at the Rosen Inn Pointe Orlando about 5 years ago. Nice enough for the price, nothing stellar, reasonably clean and quiet. It's a fantastic location for getting to Universal and ok for Disney and there's tons to do at night at the Pointe. Went to Florida last year too and there's even more to do there now. Restaurants, cinema, bars, mini-golf, the Orlando Eye (which wasn't that great), Madame Tussauds, Sea Life centre... Can't go wrong.
Only downside is Disney is a bit of an arse to get to if you aren't driving. It's a 2 bus journey then either monorail, boat or another bus to the actual parks. The buses are pretty frequent though.
