[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We drove and broke the drive up. Really wasn't so bad. And then you can go to less expensive restaurants when you are there without paying for a rental car.  We stopped in Savannah.  Take the free ferry across the river and back. [/quote]

That's what I was thinking---break up the trip, have a car so we wouldn't have to stay on property.

There are 3 major perks for staying at a disney resort though - the proxmity to the parks (driving around orlando is awful and parking is like $20), the benefit of extended magic hours, and advanced booking of fast passes.
Just something to think about. Everything is a tradeoff snd it depends on how well you plan your trip to take full advantage of the options.[/quote]

1. There are plenty of nice places 1 mile from Disney off property that save you wasaaaay more than $20/day. And the busses are awful!!
2. Magic Hours are are horrible time to visit any park
3. You do get advanced booking of FP's - but other than Mine Train and Anna & Elsa, you can still get any FP you want with regular FP booking.[/quote]

What are the nice places 1 mile from Disney?  Thank you![/quote]

All are on VRBO. Oakwater, Windsor Hills, Blue Heron, Lake Buena Vista Resort, etc. Just go to VRBO and search "Close to Disney" - we've stayed at several of these. I much prefer a nicely finished/furnished condo to cramming my family in one room at the Poly. And the money I save MORE than pays for our plane tickets. Its a win-win for me.[/quote]
