I have been offsite at disney, and had a good time while on a limited budget. My advice is to get the following book, The Unoficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2006.....due out on the 29th, I believe. It was very helpful in rating the off site hotels for affordability, cleanliness, overall value. It talks about scare factors for the kids on the rides, what to see, restaurants.....all kinds of stuff. You may even be able to get the 2005 version cheap on ebay or at a library........good luck on your trip........
