Columbus, Ohio here.
I couldn't get a room at the Doubletree and the Hyatt was way out of my price range, so I got a room at The Point Resort - up near Carrier on Universal Blvd. Looked really good in the Tripadvisor photos and reviews. I'll be in Orlando for seven days, Monday thru Sunday. I didn't shell out the money for the pool package (I don't really like to swim and I get sunburned very easily when combined with water), but I am looking forward to the Wine and Food tasting party, the stand up comedy, and the meetups in the MK, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom. I was hoping there would be an meetup day at the 'other' parks but I haven't seen anything.
Oh, and I'll be alone. Solo. haha.
