We love to stay onsite, but we’ve also stayed offsite many times. I love our on-site stays, and yes, we used to love EMH. Even though I prefer to stay on-site (GCH), our offsite trips are always just as much fun. If it’s in your budget, or if it’s a bucket list item, or if you save up for it prior to the trip, I say go for it. There are also discount rates available, especially through Dapper Day or similar events. Plan a trip around those dates to save a lot of money. If it puts a strain on you financially or if you are giving up a lot of other fun items in your trip to make it work, than I don’t think it’s worth it. Keep in mind that EMH can also have rides down during that time, and it might not be as magical as you had hoped. EMH at DL has always been included in the 3 day park hoppers. If they continue with that, than there is no reason to stay on-site, if you’re MOSTLY doing it for EMH. Just my 2 cents.
