Review Help an on-siter pick an off-siter!

[lunapnp]

I need help!!! My family and I are going to Disney in October. We currently have a split stay book at Disney World. However, we have decided to change our itinerary...and, honestly, I'm kind of tired of paying Disney prices!! We are doing the first three days at Disney. Then two days at Sea World and another day a Discovery Cove banana: so excited!). Our last night there, we are doing MNSSHP. So, we are staying on site the first three nights then switching to an off site property. Since I've only stayed off-site one time (and it was a QUICK weekend trip), I need help deciding where to stay. So, I'm open for suggestions!! Just a quick note on my family: it will be me, DH, and DDs ages 14 and 10. DD, 14, is in a wheelchair so we need something that will not be difficult for her to navigate!

TIA!!

I would consider Wyndham Bonnet Creek. There's a long thread that has quite a fe pics and reservation options. We've done on-site for the past 7 visits, but with 3 teens (12, 14 and 16), price definitely becomes a large factor. I just posted what I'm paying for our 5 night vacation today. I know it's a long thread, but lots of useful information that guided me into making this decision.

I would recommend checking out homeaway.com and vrbo.com. The prices that they give you are great and they are very reliable! We just booked a 3br 3ba for $450 a week! We looked into disney and saw how much they were chargingneedless to say it made me crazy and sick about spending that much money. I hope this helps you! Good luck in your disney travels.

ps. Allot of the properties also have reviews already! Good luck!

OP not to hijack the thread, but can I ask how far out was your trip? I am trying to figure out the time frame for getting a deal for our trip. Thanks!

for the OP homeaway.com also seems to be a good forum with prices and this link has a map of where these places are in proximity to DW and SW

You may want to take a look at HGVC Parc Soleil. It is a brand new property and has a nice hotel like setup with the space and amenities of a villa. It also has a parking garage which is really nice in inclement weather. It is also quite close to Sea World.
