[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The potential savings of off-site vs on-site are very dependent on how big a room you want. When I go to WDW it's just me and DC, so a single room at a Value (this year I am paying $120/night) is fine, and DC actually prefers the Values to the pricier hotels. That saves us the cost of a rental car/parking at parks and adds a lot of convenience compared to being off-site. I don't need a full kitchen, nor would I want to do actual cooking, but I do bring lots of healthy snacks, both to balance out the treats we will have and to save on food costs. Neither of us are big eaters, so one meal split between us is plenty at many counter-service restaurants. [b]If you need a room to fit more than 4 people, or if you insist on plusher surroundings than the Values, then off-site starts to be a real savings. We stayed in a fabulous huge 3BR at Wyndham Bonnet Creek for ~$150/night on a trip with grandparents, and I would heartily recommend that... if you need the space. For my two-person trips, totally not worth the added hassle to go off-site.[/b] For toddlers, bring surprise toys from home to head off souvenir demands. Glow bracelets from Michael's ($1/dozen, I think), Mickey shirts from Target, princess stickers, etc. [/quote] +1 [/quote]
