    Do you ever regret staying off site? - Update! We're staying offsite!

    I take the comprehensive view of transportation and parking. When we stayed onsite, we walked long way to bus stop, waited for MK bus, hoped there was room, then got dropped off at park bus stop, walked to gate. At night, we reversed. We never "got to" ride the monorail. Offsite we got in van...

    Offsite Meals

    We got traditional crust and even that took a bit of time (about 25 min), but since I have kids, I ordered cheesy bread on the way to the table. Yum.

    Going with another family, stay together or no?

    Not enough info: What is the relationship between you and them? How much do you interact with them at home? How many kids? Theirs? Yours? Ages? Do they get along? Do your parenting styles match? How do you reconcile situations where they don't? How long are you going for? How many park...

    Do you ever regret staying off site? - Update! We're staying offsite!

    We've been offsite in February and October. I underestimated how efficient Disney would be at getting traffic in and out of the lots, and the trams. Best $15 spent every day. I'd drive even if onsite.

    Do you ever regret staying off site? - Update! We're staying offsite!

    We don't regret staying offsite. That said, if Disney could rent me a 3 BR town home at even 2-3x the price we pay at WH, I'd stay onsite. They can't, so we don't. You'll never know what's best for you and your family until you compare for yourselves.

    Driving to Disney Parks from Windsor Hills

    Here's a google map I did a while back. Red line is shortcut to AK, green line to all others. https://mapsengine.google.com/map/viewer?gmp=msp&mid=zEf8w0K4S1Sk.kyDKgBa9tsvE&cid=mp&cv=F1CHxKanAj8.en Another tip for returning to WH from parks. Your inclination is going to be to turn left from...

    My kind of day - except for the salads. Were they out of burgers? ;)

    Just booked Windsor Hills for the first time

    We are 4 adults (me, wife, her parents) and our 2 boys. We did a townhome several years ago. The amenities are great. The splash pool is nice, but not a lot of room around it for sitting. Our latest trip we got a 4 BR house because we wanted a bigger pool and outdoor seating for relaxing and...

    After my trip last week. I will never stay off site again...

    The point is moot because now everyone can pre-book these to varying degrees, but I think the pushback comes from the idea that FP has not been an extra, or a perk, or whatever one wants to call it. Buy a ticket, get FP. So the offsiter viewed this as losing something he had, not someone else...

    Best Parts of Staying Off-Site

    wrote this a while back: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=49160240&postcount=27 Since then we did it again at WH, just got a 4 BR pool house instead. So I have to add: Billiards, foosball, Pop-a-Shot basketball and air hockey in garage. Bigger personal pool, with plenty of outdoor...

    More fastpass questions -- Please don't hurt me

    You go to bed one day and wake up the next - you can pre-book FP+ for both of these days. Sort of like the "4 days, 3 nights" ads you see. You cannot book for days where you did not either go to sleep at a resort or wake up at one.
