Hilton hotel? They are good. I occasionally get them (or an affiliate) on business travel. They generally have free internet.There is a FAA video on how to fly into Sun-N-Fun I'll see if I can find the link for you.
You can normally get flight following that will guide you through the MCO class bravo (sometimes not)..
I've never heard of a bad Hilton (except for Paris) but I'm not really sure where it is in relation to the airport.
Normally there's not much going on Sunday and the NOTAMs do have certain times that you can arrive or depart KLAL.
You may not land at KLAL during the airshow but you can land in the morning or late afternoon.If I am coming on Saturday, does this mean I cannot arrive until 6:30pm? If true, then I and everyone else will take hours to get down and parked so the day is shot. Then on Sunday eveyrthing is breaking down and I will be lining up to leave, so that day is shot. Maybe flying in for the weekend is not such a good idea. Driving might be better, but it will take a lot of the "FUN" out of SUN N FUN.
Here is the line from the NOTAM that has me confused:
"Due to the large number of departures after the airport reopens each day, arrival traffic is not routinely accepted until 1830 EDT (2230 UTC)."

"not routinely accepted" means they won't let you or me in. If a bigwig (e.g. N1 FAA plane) arrives at that time, they will stop hundreds of departing proles. But you need to get there in the morning or wait until after 6:30PM. Capish?
I apologize to everyone for being so dense, but I just cannot figure out how the morning does not qualify as "before 18:30". Or are the NOTAMS just suggestions?
I did email sun-n-fun to ask for clarification.

Claxton, Ga. has cheap fuel ($3.69 100LL) and it is about midway between.I'm flying down to Sun 'N Fun on Monday from Baltimore. Any recommendations on good places to stop for lunch and/or cheap fuel in N & S Carolina, Georgia or N. FL?

Yes, you pay the camping fee on site.For ONC - just one night of camping - can we pay the campground fee when we get there? I couldn't find any specific info on the site and there's no single night of camping avaialble on the ticket purchase section.
Awesome, thanks!Yes, you pay the camping fee on site.
