Well, I would stay on site at an all star before staying off site. But we have kids and the inconvience of being off site is not worth the upscale hotels off site. Besides we are rarely in our rooms except for naps and bedtime! The Disney theme is great through out the all stars and we love the fact that we dont have to lug around that special stuffed animal, t-shirt etc! Buy it and its sent to your room waiting for you! But just like everything else its a matter of choice. If they have kids I would stay on site, no kids, dont mind the hassle of driving, parking, etc then stay off site. But we go on other trips so when we get to Orlando its onsite the whole time..even if we aren't going to Disney every day! Just because we love the Disney magic~ just wish the still had the EE!
But at least I still get to spen 7 days at the World. I'm just gonna hae to save up for next years trip at an on-site resort.
That would be so wonderful to do. I am going to set up a Disney fund and save money year round so we can start doing this every year. Have you ever stayed offsite before? On a post right before this I mentioned my friends staying offsite at the timeshare, and their hotel was beautiful (and the price was great 
) When is your vacation?
I know how you feel about wanting to just sleep away the time .. it seems to just drag so bad
