Thanks ALL. I'm leaning toward OFF site. I've been saving for this VACA since my grandson was born. Unfortunately, this year has been quite a downturn health wise with too many medical bills$$. I know It'll still be memorable no matter!!

While I loved my stay at a Deluxe on-site last year, for many years I did offsite and the comfort of having a home ROCKS!! There are so many great vacation homes out there and staying in one really makes the trip relaxing. Just a lot of room to sprawl out and rest when needed. Yes, there is the pain and expense of driving to the parks everyday, but it is a small sacrifice (just make sure you stay close to the parks). We are generally "car" people anyway. I used the Disney bus service last year and wasn't overly a fan (I'm just to impatient). I'd do a vacation home before doing an off-site timeshare type of place or other type of off-site hotel.

There are a number of hotels that have the WDW benefits, 60 day FP's, EMH etc. So if that's important you can check them out.
