[quote=Anonymous]I just got back from an impromptu trip to Disney.  I took my son to see my husband who was there on a work trip.  We have been many times before (once with our son) and have always stayed at a Disney hotel.  This time we were at a luxury non Disney hotel that was on Disney property and provided transportation.  It cured me from ever wanting to stay anywhere but a Disney hotel.  Yes the hotel itself was very nice but it wasn't worth the time, hassle and money for not staying on site.  For example:

1.  While the hotel had buses they only came once an hour and made stops and multiple parks.  This made it hard to get there for a certain time (ie rope drop or a reservation) without going hours before.  It made it even worse for going with a young child that needs to come back to take naps or get home to go to bed at night.
2.  The buses to the magic kingdom drop you off at the transportation and ticket center not at the magic kingdom so you still have to get a monorail or a ferry there. 
3.  I took Ubers a few times to get back sooner or to get places the buses didn't go (ie Wide World of Sports or Disney Springs) and the Uber car seats are heavily marked up and are about $15 each way.
4.  You can't use your magic band to pay for things
5.  You can't have items sent back to your hotel

It all sounds like no big deal but if you are traveling with a child it makes a HUGE difference.  [/quote]
