[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 125885, member: 2211"] TM, it really depends on whether or not you're entire vaca will be consumed with Disney. I could never take being in Disney for an entire week, so we stayed at a decent place, Tiki something, just outside of Disney and rented a car. I think when I did the math, the cost of staying outside Disney actually saved us in the long run because the cost of eating all Disney was quite pricey. Even with the cost of the rental, we did better staying outside of Disney. Also, we stocked out little mini fridge with our own food for lunches (PBJ, cold cuts) and breakfasts (cereal & instant oatmeal) in our room. And we brought a backpack with us filled with snacks/fruit...we ended up leaving the bottle water we had planned on taking with us, because it was so heavy. We bit the bullet and bought the $4 bottled water. However, we did pack juice boxes. We also timed it so that we were at the water park late in the day when everyone else was eating their dinner. We basically had the parks to ourselves and had a blast, could relax and not worry about the girlies getting lost. We would often go to the park for a few hours in the morning (we got there around 10) and then leave the park around 1 and then hit the water park at say 5PM. We'd stay till 7 and then leave for a late dinner. By the time dinner was over, the kids were pooped (so were we) and we'd head back to the hotel to chill and watch movies. It is really important to make sure that the kiddos get plenty of down time breaks and a good night's sleep. Unlike us, my sister let her daughter who is the same age as my girl stay up till almost 1AM and she was at the park gates first thing to wait in line. Her daughter threw fits throughout the day every day. Ugh. AAA offers some pretty good deals on the hopper passes. I think we got a 4-day hopper pass and we actually had one day left on it when we left. We used it the next time we visited H's parents. The book store has a lot of great books that tell you all different ways to get great deals. It also gives advice about which rides/shows to skip and which ones to see - depending on the age of your child. Just do a lot of research. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
