Welcome harri2000 :wave: Keep checking the posts on this site and you will be amazed at what you might find! Some VERY interesting info. "Lots" of good people here, and cast members also to help you out and give you the inside scoop on things!

Since you are staying 14 days. Your best bet would be to get WDW Annual Passes. With the Annual Passes you should be able to get Annual Passholders discounts and get rooms at say the All Stars from $59 to $79 per night.

Secondly being on site you have Disney Transportation and you don't need rental cars.

The first 2 times we went to WDW 1990-92 we stayed off site. The package was booked by a travel agent.

We now make all our own reservations and stay on site. The security on site is much better and the traffic at it worst is never as bad as going to the main gate areas.

We have tried most of the WDW resorts and in all fairness the All Stars are great. Maybe a bit crowded at certain times and a bit longer walk at some park bus stops, but every resort has it's Negatives.

Hi
I wouldn't worry about staying on site we never have and I think its such a big trip from the UK its nice to see and experience things other than just Disney. No offence meant.
If your going for two weeks the best pass to get is a ten day world hopper which is on offer at the moment for £199 we also found the orlando flex ticket very good and if you shop around its quite reasonable.
As for the flight we have travelled with children those ages and as long as you have plenty of snacks drinks and toys avaliable you'll be fine and if there is a flim on the flight they can enjoy even better. Have a great time
