[quote=Anonymous]We have been to Disney many times and have done some on site stays and some off.
The only reason we have done off site is money.   We have a large family and can not all fit in one standard room--suites are extremely expensive and Disney won't guarantee that if you book two rooms, that they will connect.   They literally could assign you two rooms at opposite ends of your resort.   So for our large family/small budget, off site was necessary.

If I was doing a "one and done" trip, I would absolutely stay on site--especially if your budget can easily accommodate it.

Suites in the resorts are very expensive--generally $1000+ per night.
Most of the "deluxe" resorts also have "villas" part of the timeshare program called "Disney Vacation Villas."  These units can be a studio, 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, or 3 bedroom villa.  All but the studios have a full kitchen, living room, and laundry.  If you are not a member, you can rent these one of two ways:

1)  Book them through Disney.  
2) Rent through a private owner 
3) Rent through a Broker

Renting through a broker is less risky than going through a private owner (unless you personally know the owner, of course.)  It is also a lot cheaper than going through Disney.  However, you will not receive daily housekeeping.  If you rent directly through Disney, you will receive the daily housekeeping.   
We've decided to splurge this summer and have rented a 2 bedroom in the Saratoga Springs (one of the cheapest, and easiest to reserve) resort--we are doing it through Disney because the daily housekeeping is a must for me.[/quote]
