[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After having done our one family trip to Disney I can understand the appeal. We spent a considerable amount of time driving, parking and getting ourselves from the car to the park entrance. A Disney hotel would have cut out just about all of that. It's just a matter of how much people value their time.[/quote]

Our last trip we stayed at the Riveria Hotel. About a half hour before our reservations we went downstairs, hopped on the gondola, and sat down right on time for our reservations at the Yachtman Streakhouse then headed back and watched the fireworks.

As far as park tickets, which have gotten pricey, we have used different strategies over the years. Early on we bought annual passes every year. Then we switched to every other year, which just meant we went twice in a 12 month period.

Then we just did the waterparks, hotel pools, shopping and other local activities.

Some years we stayed a DVC and went to Universal.

Some years Disney offers free evenings for members only, and we have gone to them. We get free food, entertainment and more.

This year DVC is letting members buy annual passes with points.

There's a lot of flexibility with the program.

And we could still sell ours for a bit more than we paid for it.
