Well said LeesyUD. No point in getting overly upset about your choice, or what others seem to think about it. If ever I have been guilty of trying to persuade someone into making one choice or the other regarding rooms, it was because the poster came to the DIS, asked a question, and I tried to provide them with the best information. I hope they do question my opinions, and are secure enough to make their own choices. If 10,000 people say staying onsite is better, then maybe for someone who doesn't have any experience, it's a possibility to consider, but that doesn't make it the right choice for everyone -otherwise the 10,000 other hotels in the Orlando area wouldn't be able to stay in business.
I have stayed both onsite and offsite, and each has it's pros and cons. It depends quite a bit on how each family intends to spend their time. Often whe people post, they give minimal information, so it's natural for posters to project their own experience onto the unknown person.
The only thing that bothers me is people who self-righteously extoll the virtues of staying offsite, dis the idea of staying onsite, and later follow up by saying they have never actually stayed onsite. Likewise for someone who has never stayed offsite, but isn't willing to hear that there could be benefits for another family.
And the same happens with other issues as well. Personally though, I find the DIS one of the more civil boards I've seen.
