is it worth staying on disney property if you are only doing 1-2 parks plus disney springs, we come to florida in january for a week and stay off property this vacation we just did we only did one park plus disney springs, i haven't been to disney since the 1990s when i was a teenageer its just my husband and I. next year we plan on doing 2 parks plus disney springs.
is it worth it to stay on property for week if only doing 2 parks or would our money be better spent going to more than 2 parks?

The question is, IMHO, if you can afford it, stay on property. I’d rather wait an extra year and pay to stay on property than off property. I’ve stayed on property for one night when I was dropping off my DD in the college program…but again, it’s just me.

Ill agree with the other reply that it is worth it to a point. i wont spend $750 a night to stay in the poly or GF. Given that you are going next January there may be some discounts. Also look if you are a Bonvoy member, the Swan and Dolphin have some nice rooms for not the high price most times. Easy walk to Epcot and HS or take the boat. Another option is the garden wing of the contemporary. one of my favorite as the rooms are big and quiet, plus walk to MK. Does get busy in the morning to take the monorail though. There is just something "more" about staying on property. not sure what you want to spend.

Cost vs experience, in some ways. Staying offsite, you have to pay for parking at Disney World parks and deal with traffic getting into/out of the parking lots. Plus, some offsite hotels charge for parking. Still, it can be less expensive staying offsite. Not sure what offsite hotel you use but the All-Star hotels are as nice as most similarly priced offsite without breaking the budget.
