Rates at the Radisson Resort Parkway
Rates start low, very low -- at the time we write this review, you can get a room for as low as $63/night between 9/5-10/2/2003 (see rates at the end of this review). As a rule of thumb, rates here are below All-Star and Pop Century rates, and yet the resort's amenities put it in the "moderate" class rather than the "value" class. So you get the equivalent of a moderate resort (such as Caribbean Beach) for less than the price of a value (All Star or Pop Century). 

Transportation at the Radisson
Free shuttles are available to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Seaworld, and this is one of the few hotels do this. The shuttles operate on a schedule and unlike the Disney buses used at the Disney resorts, these are like traditional touring buses, and hence more comfortable. The biggest drawback to these shuttles is frequency: the Disney shuttles pickup/drop-off 4-6 times a day, the Universal and Seaworld shuttles pick-up/drop-off 1-2 times a day. If you're like us, your schedule doesn't fit their schedule. We ended up taking a taxi twice from this hotel, because the shuttle had already left. Also, the buses drop-off at the Ticket & Transportation Center, and you need to catch another bus/monorail from there to go to other parks. Thus, while there are shuttles, we strongly recommend you have a car when staying at any off-property resort. There is free self-parking at the resort, and Thrifty Car Rental has a desk in the Radisson lobby. The Radisson is just 1.5 miles (as the crow flies) from Walt Disney World, so transportation is quick and simple. In fact, the resort is right across the street from Celebration, Disney's community! Radisson Resort Parkway is off of 192, just east of I-4.

All in all, we're very impressed! Radisson Resort Parkway is one of the few off-property hotels we really recommend to PassPorter readers! It's upscale, fun, and affordable!

Reader Comments on the Radisson Resort Parkway:

"We stayed there about a year ago. Just for one night, but we were really impressed. Our room was a standard view (aka pond, fountain, and parking lot), but it was large, beautifully decorated, clean, and very comfortable. The pool was fabulous. Truthfully, we thought it was much nicer than Animal Kingdom Lodge's, which we found a bit boring. I think there are two spas, tho we only hit one of them. It was clean and well-maintained, but too hot. Landscaping around the property is lovely. I think it's an excellent alternative to staying on-site. We were very pleased with it." -- pflamingo

"We got a great rate at the Radisson when Disney could only give us half the days we needed. The room had a pool view, even though we were paying a special low rate. Very comfortable. In-room coffeemakers, toiletries, etc. Great pools and spas, lovely landscaping, close to WDW and grocery stores, restaurants, etc. They also have limited free bus transportation to WDW, Universal, etc. -- tip for the driver appreciated. In house food includes a snack bar with Pizza Hut pizza, a bit hit with my son. We would definitely stay there again -- even my picky husband who usually finds something to complain about liked it." -- yalibrarian

"We just recently stayed five nights at the Radisson Resort Parkway (7/1-7/23) and we thought it was great. The location is excellent, the furnishings are very nice, it's clean, very well maintained, and the pools are big and fun. We are two adults and three kids and I found the fantastic 'Spread Out Rates' and had 2 rooms for an amazingly low total of under $100/night! We were in building 6000 overlooking the pool." -- wdw4us
