WHERE TO PARK RV NEAR DISNEY?

The Orlando airport (MCO) has oversize vehicle parking in one of the long-term lots on the property. I left my 24' Class C there for 9 days back in March 2013 with no issues. Mine wasn't the only RV parked in the lot either. Very reasonable daily charge too, I think it was in the $10/day range. Check out the airport website for info.

I purchased my rv for touring, not for camping.

Camping is not my family's style.

We want the benefit of driving comfortably around the country while we continue to stay in vacation homes or resorts at our destination. Money is not in question. We know the costs of a vacation home.

All I need is a place around Disney to park the rv while we rent a car to zip around the area.

I'm going to look into a Camping World for rv parking. Thanks everyone

KISS Theory for a parking spot for MH:

1. Locate a CG near your destination.
2. Go into a local CG.
3. Pay for one night stay.
4. Open door of MH and leave to go to Disney in rental car.
5. Go back and pick up MH and then go on to where ever you plan to stay with the family for the evening since you don't want to camp.

Problem solved, MH easily parked in a safe area, hooked up to electricity to keep your fridge/food cold.

There are no rules that say you have to stay the night and/or stay inside your MH while you are paid and parked in a CG. :W

Beware though.
When you get back to pick up your MH you might just find that hanging together relaxing around your MH and having a few drinks and food at your picnic table......you might just like staying in a CG. :C

This is true but usually reserved for guests that are staying on property. Some campgrounds might offer storage but probably charge by the month.

Not sure but worth a try. Good friends of ours enjoyed the Reunion resort. They rented a house with a pool and game room for 8 adults, 5 kids. With a free standing house, maybe you could park a C in the driveway.

May not be the best solution, but if the RV storage lots are more expensive, you can rent a night at Fort Wilderness, just go with their cheapest site and then go park it at the over flow lot. There is no charge to leave the RV there.

Agree that driving the RV down and then renting a house makes little sense. We have been to Disney twice since getting the RV. The first time, we drove the RV, camped in the Disney CG, Fort Wilderness, just the two of us. The second time, we were renting a condo and inviting all the kids/grandkids. Drove the minivan that time.

if your going to rent house, why drive rv?

x3. Doesn't make sense from a time standpoint or an economical standpoint to do so. Flying to FL on Southwest or JetBlue out of Providence or Boston is pretty cheap. In an RV that gets lousy mileage you'll spend the same on gas as flights if you plan properly. Rental car is a wash.

Maybe the OP will have more guests than her RV can hold once she gets down to FL thus driving down and then house renting makes sense.
