trying to plan a quick trip for 11/11-11/15 onsite appears to be booked... So looking to stay offsite - we basically need a clean place to stay with shuttle service to the parks. We are driving so we will have a car just don't want to pay parking prices. What are your recommendations? Just 2 adults trying to squeeze in f&w
 
IMO - drive to the parks and pay the parking. There aren't any really good shuttles for offsite hotels that I have ever heard of, and many hotels charge more for the shuttle than the Disney parking will set you back. The average hotel shuttle makes 3 or 4 trips to and from the park each day; rarely at times that are convenient to you. You could also use Uber or taxi if you really don't want to drive. Uber is probably comparable to parking if you aren't staying too far out.

Keep in mind that you will probably be saving more than the cost of parking in the reduced room rate offsite compared to Disney.

Maybe a little more information on budget, size of party, amenities desired, and whether you will be Disney only will help garner some suggestions. There are hundreds of options that meet your bill from small budget hotels, to luxurious resorts, to rental homes and villas.
 
"Squeezing in F&W" ...

I would look at DTD hotels which have a shuttle service to the parks. Some have resort fees and parking fees but it may still be cheaper than onsite.

I would especially look at these if you plan on drinking at F&W, you don't want to drive. DS did it this way and the night they missed the last DTD bus, they walked to BWI, caught the Disney bus to DTD, then walked to the hotel.

If you are not drinking at F&W then I would just stay farther offsite to save money and drive to the parks.

my recommendation is pay for parking.
offsite shuttles have limited drop off and pick up times and are not reliable.
 

Drinking is a must - party of 2 - hmm ok, I may have to look harder for an onsite option I don't want to drive
