How much longer will you stay on-site?

We will stay wherever the best value is. We used to stay offsite, sharing a villa (they own Marriott timeshare), condo, or house with my sister and 2 nieces. They used to have APs so we'd share a minivan and not pay parking at Disney. Then BIL became a cast member, so they always stay onsite and we don't usually vacation together anymore. For the last few trips, with only DD and I, it's been more cost-effective to stay onsite at POP during free dining. Even with the dining upgrade ($20/night for two of us), we couldn't rent a hotel, eat in restaurants, rent a car, and pay for Disney parking for what onsite costs. However, this past trip we rented a car even though we were onsite. We find the buses almost intolerable at park closing, and not a lot of fun at any other time. With ADRs at California Grill, Boma, and wanting to go to MNSSHP we decided that time is also money, and having the car made it a lot faster to get around Disney property. SO... like I said, on or off, we will stay wherever it's more cost-effective (and if we didn't love so many of hte Disney restaurants, we'd probably stay offsite more and cook dinner in the condo- but there's no way we are going to Disney and skipping Boma!)

I will continue to stay onsite as long as disney keeps giving me 40% off on deluxe accomadations, and I can afford it. I have no interest in owning a timeshare.
