Is it Really Better Staying On Property?

I honestly meant cheap to mean cheap, not trash. Sorry you took it that way.

Trying to say I placed a higher value on the character dining experience and you placed a higher value on saving money. I'll take Pooh Bear any day over that cheap meal.

MY family is not a fan of Disney at all. We love Pixar and Star Wars but they aren't really associated with Disney in our mind at all. When we took our first trip my dh had to drag me along for that reason. I'm just not a fan of things that have a lot of commercialism. He convinced me when he told me about how easy a trip it would be once we got there. I'm a SAHM so my days are spent cooking, cleaning, and driving a lot. My sons' school is 25 miles from home. To me it's not a vacation if I have to do any of that.

When I learned that once we arrived at the airport to check our bags everything would be taken care of including transportation, snacks, strollers (we rented one for the first trip from Kingdom Strollers), etc. I was sold. I loved the freedom of not even having to carry a purse. By the end of the first trip all I took along during the day was a diaper wallet. I also loved having souvenirs transported back to the hotel. It's nice knowing that I can hire a travel agent for free and have everything taken care of for me since I usually do all of the work planning vacations. My dh is useless at it. We missed out on our dream honeymoon because he forgot to renew his passport. He still hasn't taken me to Scotland.

We don't travel often so I'm willing to pay the extra cost to stay onsite and have everything turnkey.
