If you must do Orlando, the Peabody is a relatively civilized four star hotel located in a place that's more convenient for meetings than Disney.
True, it is not the most relaxing destination for sure, although our family just likes going there for a few nights to experience a bit of the Disney magic and explore the area. The remainder of our trip will be at the St. Regis Bal Harbour where we truly relax and unwind without the crowds from the parks.

Thanks for the insight on the day passes/spa packages...I did not realize that was an option! Yes, the property itself and its amenities are the most appealing factor for us.
I just can't wrap my head around how they charge $700 for a bottom floor, no-view, standard room in Orlando in May (with a $100 upcharge to get a view of trees and a parking lot), but I guess it's the magic of the mouse? (An oceanfront room at the St. Regis BH is less at that time!)
