I am now at the point where when visiting Disney, I either stay DVC (but have been more and more likely to just rent my points and pocket the free cash), Swan/Dolphin, or the Grande Lakes properties (either the Ritz Carlton or JW Marriott). With free parking w/ my annual pass, having a car or renting a car and driving from the Ritz is becoming my fav thing to do for Disney and Universal. It is comparable in cost and one of the few truly luxury resorts in Orlando (move aside Disney, your "Deluxe" resorts don't fool me or anyone). Highly recommend!
