For our March 2000 trip I decided to try and get a last minute deal on a room at the Ocala visitor center (we're Fla residents and drive past it on our way). They were offering one special only. It was at OKW and still more than $200 a night. So I tried to book a room at the regular rate at a Value or Moderate resort. Out of all of them only Carribbean beach had a couple rooms avail.
It is a very nice place to stop and stretch the legs though. They have a mini-theatre with Disney movies playing and such.
