[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 125923, member: 1967"] TM, We used to go to wife yearly when the girls were small since my brother worked there and got us in free. We didn't stay onsite since we would usually only go for a day or two at a time while visiting my parents who lived two hours away. I always wished that we had stayed at a Disney hotel but like someone else said, back in the day, there were only 3 Disney hotels and they were very expensive. If we were visiting now, I would definitely opt for one of the Disney hotels just to get the Disney transportation. Another advantage is that you get to enter the parks earlier in the morning than people that are not staying at Disney which is a good thing because you will be visiting during a very busy time at wife. We spent a few days in Orlando after Christmas this year while visiting my mom who now lives in an Assisted Living Facility near Disney. We had to pass by Disney to get to her from our condo and it was a nightmare because of the heavy traffic. There are some hotels that are very close to Disney that are not Disney hotels in the Disney Village area. You can get great deals through priceline and hotwire if you do decide to stay offsite. I got a 3.5 star hotel (Buena Vista Palace) for $89 a night a couple of years ago through Hotwire. The book that JJJ mentioned is wonderful. I got it through the local library and it has awesome tips. One more thing . . . you might want to look into the special ticket that allows you to bypass lines. It would be worth whatever the cost on busy days. I still have wonderful memories (and pictures) from our Disney days. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
