[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can save a ton of cash by renting a house off property. Look around the area of Celebration. It has grocery stores, restaurants and easy access to Disney. You can save yourself a boatload by eating a real meal at the house, instead of $15 chicken nuggets.

This 3 bedroom is $87 per night:

There isn't a lot of traffic. The only thing that I don't like about staying off property is paying $20/day for parking. Car rentals at the airport are cheap too. I got a car for $15/day last time I was there. [/quote]

It's all about the type of vacation you want.  Yes, this may save money but I'd never do this because this doesn't sound fun to me.  I rather wait a year or two and save up some more money so we could have the ease of staying on property, enjoying a Disney hotel and the convenience and perks and not having to cook![/quote]

Being held captive by the mouse seems like a bad vacation, but to each their own. There are real restaurants nearby. Some might want a break from Mickey's overpriced fast food. [/quote]

You can stay in a value hotel for $100-150 and be on property.  We'll never stay on property again as we prefer the nearby restaurants.  I get the first time you want to stay on property but then you learn real quickly that even the McDonalds on property (even being vegetarian and never eating there) is far better than the Disney food..

Once again... WHERE ARE YOU EATING?  Are you sure you are going to Disney World????[/quote]

We ate the hotel - this time it was at the Caribbean.  Horrible.  We ate one cold, gross meal the first day, and then went back for breakfast which turned out to be a nightmare and walked out with all the food drama.

Yes, I'm sure it was Disney.  We were just there.  Did several counter service at  Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and Hollywood studios and all were bad to horrible.  The mac and cheese was the absolute worst. We did one sit down at MK and it was ok, but it was $50+ for two basic meals and a kids meal.  Last time we went to Port Orleans and it gave us the runs on several days.   We have in the past gone to Epcot and the Japanese place was lousy for the price and the Middle Eastern was horrible with cold, dry food.  Not one good meal on two trips.  If Disney Cruises can do high quality meals, even at counter service, I don't get how Disney World can't.[/quote]
