[QUOTE="sueuk, post: 3704797, member: 59745"] We've stayed offsite the first 4 times we went, and found the accommodation (3 bed villa, pool etc) fab, and ideal for a family who want to explore the whole area and not just WDW. Eating dinner at offsite restaurants, or doing a BBQ around your pool is much cheaper. Add to the cost though, the petrol, travelling time and parking fees and for newbies -the hassle of driving on the 'wrong' side of the road. The last 3 times we've travelled as a couple - money has been easier, and we only have ourselves to please, so we've pushed the boat out and stayed at AKL and BC. We find that we relax from waking in the morning to going to bed at night, even if we drive to a park or resort the parking is included, and when we do go offsite to a mall or other park, we can't wait to 'come home' for dinner and maybe take in some fireworks. One little thing last year summed Disney resorts up for me - I woke very early and looked out of the curtain to see some CMs raking the beach (at the BC), hoovering the paths and wiping the benches before everyone woke up. People work very hard to maintain the magic. [/QUOTE]
