Onsite/OffSite

[Tigerinvestigator]

There are going to be 6 of us. 3 adults and 3 kids. (13, 7, 3) We are planning on going next summer (end of may early june). We are giving the trip to the kids for Christmas.
We are driving down, so no rental. But I like the idea of not having to drive.

And I LOVE everything Disney. My lil one is really into the old Diseny movies (snow white,, alice..etc) and I am loving watching the with her.

I think that was all the questions!! Yall are so nice! thank you!

We stayed at a Fort Wilderness cabin a few weeks ago against my will......and I loved it. It was plenty of room for six of us and very nice. Just make sure you rent a golf cart or 2.

Yes, I would highly recommend staying onsite. I cannot imagine staying offsite and having to drive or rely on shuttle service to get to the parks. So many resorts to pick from to fit your budget.

For onsite with 6 people, I would also recommend the cabins at Fort Wilderness. We used to stay there when we were a party of 6 and really enjoyed it. Outside of that, you have the family suites at Art of Animation and a few at All Star Movies but they are way over priced in my opinion.

Offsite, you could go with something like one of the Embassy Suites that has two regular beds and a Sofa bed. They also have a free full breakfast buffet which more than offsets the cost of parking at the parks. We have done this several times and we can usually get in the car, drive to the park, and get to the gate in half the time it takes to use the internal bus system onsite at WDW.

It comes down to how you really want to do WDW. If you are only going to visit the WDW parks and nothing else, it would probably make more sense to stay onsite. If you are going to do like we do most of the time and go to offsite restaurants, to the beach one day and maybe to Sea World, Kennedy Space Center, Universal Studios, or Busch Gardens on another day, then it sometimes makes more sense to save some money and stay at a nice hotel/resort offsite.
