Hi. I'm no expert, but in our planning we have found staying off site is sooo much cheaper.But some say that the magic of staying on site is just incredible. To us the magic we get in the parks in fine, and we don't need to spend the extra $$ to feel it in the hotel. We would rather spend our$$ on something more tangible. As long as we have a clean place to shower and sleep, we're happy. Whatever you decide, I hope you have a wonderful trip. We are 38 days away and can't wait <IMG WIDTH="15" HEIGHT="15" SRC="/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif" alt="razz">
