An AP might be a good idea. As shareholder you've a 15% discount. The Fantasy Passport isn't expensive. If you buy one May 2008, you can go back April 2009 and still use it. Call CRO to ask how much DCR would cost you if you book it room only with shareholders discount. Where are you from?
I don't know how much you like to stay in a Disney resort. If that isn't a must for you, I would suggest the Citea vacation village at Magny Le Hongre. It's about the same distance from the parks as DCR but here are real houses who offer much more comfort then DCR.
