Hello 
I'm a seasoned DL vet, but I've yet to visit WDW, and we're starting to look into planning a trip next year. A friend did a big WDW trip last year, and said that it's really important to stay in a hotel with monorail access. Is this a necessity? I'm guessing that monorail = a lot more money, and we're trying to save everywhere that we can.
What are the best places to stay for a family of 3? Is the dining plan worth it? We have Disneyland AP's, and are considering just upgrading to the Premier AP's instead of buying tickets, is that worth it?
WDW seems so huge and confusing to me, so I would really love the advice of some more seasoned WDW people!
