staying onsite vs staying offsite

[alicia1506]

well we have decided to stay offsite at the Desert Inn & Suites for the majority of our stay, and stay onsite for the novelty for our last 2 nights in disneyland...

this way we get the best of both worlds... the onsite accomodation at the disneyland hotel will be more than the cost of staying just under a week at the offsite location... and yes, we could have saved that money, but we made a pact on our last visit that we would come back and stay onsite on our next visit...

so we will. albeit for only 2 nights, as the cost of our whole say, if onsite, would exceed the cost of our cruise + our stay in chicago put together

I think that's a nice compromise Alicia. I actually did something similar on one of my trips many years ago

Alicia you might want to check on that policy. It seems very odd that they would care what time you turn up if you have allready paid for the room. I know we have done this with them before (last time would have been a couple of years ago though).
I would give them a call & if they say OK, I would then email them as to what time you will be arriving & get them to send a confirmation/agreeance of that email back to you so that you have something in writing from them.
I just cannot understand this policy as the reception/check in area is manned 24/7 (they just keep the door locked until a guest needs to go in during the late hours).
