DH & I are staying offsite for the first time ever. The resort prices are crazy for December even with the AP discount. And, we've come to prefer driving ourselves to the parks. We use to stay in the bubble but not anymore. We discovered good eats off property and the bus transportation is unreliable. Anyways, I'm still a bit weary. We booked a room at Tru by Hilton for $99 per night.
It's a short birthday trip. My kids are grown so rides are not a priority but eating and drinking are. I check for ADR's every day, I'm a retired teacher so it's part of my schedule haha. No problems getting the ADR's I wanted.
Our plan is to get in line for fancy rides near closing time. We've always had success. We won't be using
