Driving all day - Where to stay night before checking in?

[pamelaprincessP]

We will be driving via Interstate 75 from Mississippi. Where is the best place to stay inexpensive, but clean with nice beds for resting after driving all day. Plan to wake up and get to resort around 9 to leave luggage at Disney resort and get to parks. Any recommendations? Can be near Orlando or 1 or 2 hours out on or near I-75. Thank you

There's a Comfort Inn in Ocala about 1.5 hours from Disney World. It was nice when we stayed there, though that was over 10 years ago.

You may have already thought of this, but one year we booked a standard view at a value resort for our first night. It was awesome to wake up the next morning, move to POFQ AND be at the park for opening. Saved a few dollars over the moderate price and enjoyed an easy (get yummy) dinner from the food court.
