Cheapest way to spend the summer in WDW??

[CanadianDISfan]

I've been listening to the DIS Unplugged for the past 2 years but I'm new to the Boards so I have no idea what I'm doing....but, here's my question, what's the cheapest way to stay the summer in Orlando? Both my husband and I are teachers so instead of staying our usual 2 weeks, we'd like to stay the whole summer (July and August). I surfed some home exchange sites but feel a bit intimidated by that idea since the houses for swap are gorgeous and we just have a tidy, comfy, 1000 square foot apartment. Also, when I looked at DVC by resale, we'd need 900 points to stay 6 weeks, and finally, vacation homes seem to be just as expensive as staying at a hotel ($99 - $200/per night). Any tips, help, suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Gabriella

Probably much better if you would post on the Budget Board.
But welcome to the Dis!
