I always stay at WDW resorts as well; I have not been to Disneyland in 10 years although I'm closer to Disneyland. At WDW you can take advantage of the free transportation to and from the airport and then you need transportation around the parks. A minivan rental will cost you $400, at Disneyland, no need for transportation around the parks and we're driving. When we go to WDW we get the free dinning plan for staying at a Moderate Resort. At Disneyland the dinning plan stinks it's just pay money to have cash vouchers, they really need to offer a better dinning plan. The only benefit I see is to have your purchases delivered to the Hotel but once again we will have a stroller with us, so not a huge benefit. I don't see $1000 more for the vacation to be worth it to stay on property when it's a 10 minute walk right to the gate from an offsite hotel. I can even still get magic mornings from an offsite hotel. HoJo's it is.
