Most of the other motels are also $95, if you don't get the discount the best place for the money is the Hampton Inn on 466 near Buena Vista for $95 and they did have a $10 AARP discount.

Thanks for the hotel tips. If I choose to go that route, ie hotel with visitor pass vs lifestyle visit what will I miss? I consider not having to deal with a sales person a plus at this time. However need some guidence to get the most from our visit. Understand roaming around TV with a golf cart can be educational.
