My parents are going with us in June. We currently have reservations at Riverside, which looks very nice and relaxing.
My mom wants to surprise my daughter with a Discovery Cove
day which is quite expensive!! Therefore she is suggesting that we save money by going to a cheap off site hotel.
We found the Ramada INn Westgate for $37 a night with buffet
breakfast for two adults--this would save us about $400 for the week.
Sure it sounds good saving $400, but the pool is just a concrete
hole in the ground and there are no disney buses or trees, or
ducks to feed, or boats to rent, or boat to dtd.
ONe side note: My husband and I can afford the Riverside as can my mother, but
what would you guys do? Even if we dont stay in the room too much I love the landscaping and feel of disney and dont want to feel like I am staying in a concrete box with no atmosphere.
thanks for all your advice.
