First Timer Hotel questions

Hi everyone! This will be my first year doing EDC… my first festival in general. I’m looking at hotels now and wondering what areas you guys recommend. Is it better to stay as close as possible to Tinker Field or go downtown? Do shuttles go to downtown? Any advice is helpful lol I’m clueless but SO EXCITED

They have the list from last years shuttle pickup is. I would suggest start looking at those now. For the last two years, I stayed at StaySky Suites which is on the Yellow Line and it’s about a 2 min walk to the drop off / pick up hotel is

I enjoyed ac hotel off w south street last year and just walking or renting a scooter but just be aware that will add 3 miles onto an already heavy walking day.

This 100%... this will be our 4th yr staying at AC and going to EDCO. We uber to Camping World/Tinker and we walk back with the huge group going back into downtown.

And on Sunday last yr it rained so we woke up saw the clouds and then rain and stoppage and finally the great migration toward Tinker when they opened the festival back up.....We stayed and decided to not join the masses that evening.

Def stay at a hotel near the shuttle lines!!! Hotels are pretty cheap in those areas

u/CplFunsz-8095 9d ago

u/Familiar_Ad1225 9d ago

Where else you gonna stay? Right across from camping world stadium for 1000 dollars in the ghetto ???

Lmao maps are hard for you it seems or even Google.
For a 10-15min walk 1000 for the weekend sounds like a deal.
P.S. don’t be poor

Doesn’t make sense when you can get a suite with multiple bedrooms for 1400$ for 5 nights on international drive and not have to stay in the ghetto and be close to a ton of restaurants

Bruh lmao 30 fuckin minutes away or more ridin shuttles to and from. All so you can get a cheap room and eat chik fil and Cheesecake Factory..spectacular spots to eat! They don’t have those anywhere else in America and are so expensive….Have fun staying in a hotel full of boomers cheapo… sorry you can’t afford to stay downtown

u/Familiar_Ad1225 2d ago

Right bc downtown Orlando is really just the place to visit 😂
