Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some information and as we walk through this time coming up to our trip and then our actual trip, we will give a full review. We are a family of 8-- mom, dad and 6 kids, plus grandma will be staying with us. We have always been on site people. As you can see by my signature, our last trip we stayed BLT, MK view 2 bedroom, it was awesome! We are going end of April-early May 2014. Priced our 8 night trip, BLT, MK view, 2 bedroom, with 7 day base tickets, regular dining, it was over $16K
So......we looked at BLT Lake view, OKW 2 bedroom, looked at renting 3 rooms, etc..... THEN we looked at offsite. I NEVER thought I would consider offsite. BUT when you compare prices--wow!!!! What a money saver offsite is. Yes, I know we are giving up EMH, convenience of being onsite location, etc.... but we have to try this and see if off site works for us or not.
We have booked a 6 bed, 4 bath house in Windsor Hills, with a private pool, spa, game room, kid themed rooms, full kitchen, washer/dryer, much much more for considerably less than we could stay on site. This would allow us to actually go do WDW more often!
We have spoken to the owner and he is very responsive and helpful. The management company is All Star Vacation Homes and the house is Castle Disney. I know All Star is more expensive than some other vacation homes, but I have read some very scary reports regarding others not responding to guests issues with the house, etc.... Now we have not stayed yet, but so far, our experience booking and getting info, reviews, has been very good.
I wanted to give this info b/c I never thought we would stay offsite and I know others have considered it as well. I will give a full review when we get back next year but I wanted to let you know this is an option and seems to be a very good option.
