[QUOTE="Thomas, post: 2805089, member: 4180"] It's almost as easy to book through Disney than to mess with it. Everything on property is ridiculously expensive. We have gone twice, the first time we stayed off property (it was a stopover on our way to the keys) in a VRBO condo. Awesome place, cheaper than a hotel with 3 bedrooms and a private pool. We also learned you can take lunch into the park so as to save even more. Second time we stayed in a suite in the "Disney Boardwalk." If the company hadn't eaten part of that trip, I would still be paying for it. Someone we knew rented a car and we dropped $100 at Target for groceries. (A character breakfast will run you $100 for 2 adults and three kids under 8.) If you stay off property, stop by your local AAA to get upfront parking ($15 a day regardless.) Just plan on one or two things you "have" to see. The kids will tire quickly and if you try to push them it will be miserable for everyone. If you just go with the flow and enjoy what you can, the whole trip will go a lot better. (Just watch the other people who try to push too much having breakdowns all over the place... Then think to yourself, is squeezing in one more ride worth [I]that[/I]?) On property you can run back and grab a quick nap, just expect to pay for the convenience in higher priced hotel and food cost. (They also had "extended hours" for on property people. I never saw them turn people away, so not really sure how that works once they are already in the park.) The new wristband system makes everything painless. If you want, they will pick you up/drop you off at the airport and as you can imagine, they have the system worked out pretty well. [/QUOTE]
