Very very very last minute trip planning for Orlando?
Hello,
I am considering taking my parents (mid 50s) and sibling (mid 20s) on a very very very last minute trip from Boston to Orlando....this weekend! from tomorrow, 6/7 to 6/9.
-We have been to Orlando and the parks a few years ago
- We would like to see WDW, Universal and maybe an animal park/water park
- Do we need a car? If so, any deals?
- Any nice chain hotel that is centrally located to the parks that we can stay in at this last minute?
- Is this too last minute? Airfare from Boston to Orlando on Air Tran is ~250pp RT
Thanks a lot for your help,

No way can you see WDW, Universal, and waterpark in 2 days. I would call Universal and Disney and just see what they have available. Then just check on expedia, orbitz, etc. It may be just as cheap to rent a car with 4 or 5 people going than to take a shuttle. But no, you really don't need a car once you get to your lodging.

re Sat afternoon - close WDW
WDW is 4 separate parks that some feel are worth a full day each.
You would only see a few attractions in any one park.
I don't know if cost is a factor, but Disney tickets $70 per person for one day

You can't see it all, so pick what truly interests you. Major tourist areas for decent hotels are Lake Buena Vista (near WDW) and International Drive (near SeaWorld at the south end of the drive and Universal near the north end).

If you haven't left yet, I think you should stay at one of the Universal on-site hotels - Portofino Bay, Hard Rock or Royal Pacific. You could close one of the Disney parks today. I would choose either Epcot or the Magic Kingdom. Tomorrow you could do both Universal parks and would have front of the line access because you are staying on-site at Universal. Monday morning, you could hit the highlights at the Animal Kingdom or do a water park. Obviously, you don't have much time, but you could certainly have some fun and make some memories.
By the way, the Universal hotels are lovely and you can't make a mistake.
I would rent a car. If you want to do Disney and Universal, you really need a car.
I hope you can make it happen. Have fun!
