Off site hotels with shuttle service

[MeganMango]

Hi everyone!

What are some off site hotels with shuttle service? That would be less expensive than the value resorts (which are running about 120 per night)? I'm trying to do 9 nights.

Also debating staying off site by renting a room through AirBnB which would be significantly cheaper IF I drive down. I'm under 25, so renting a car is a financial nightmare.

I want to go to Universal at least once and the beach at least once (I can rent a car for a day, but for longer than that, it would be outrageously expensive.)

(This will be my second solo trip, 3rd WDW total. Last trip I stayed at a value resort)

Shuttles off site have very limited schedules and some of them only drop you off at Epcot and then you must pick up Disney transportation to get to the rest of the parks. In most cases it takes longer to commute on these shuttles, too; because, they are farther away from the parks. Some shuttles are shared by other resorts which really takes longer.

As a solo traveler I would prefer the security of staying onsite at Disney. Also, you get to do fastpass plus 30 days sooner which is a good perk. Keep in mind you get extra magic hours, too staying onsite.
