8 Tips for Planning a Fabulous Trip to Walt Disney World

3. Decide if you’re staying on property or off property

There are advantages to staying on property just as there are advantages to staying off property. The biggest determining factor is going to be cost. While Disney does offer value resorts, sometimes they are still well in the mid $100 range. However, you do get extra magic hours for the parks and free transportation all over property. I’ve had great experiences at hotels on 192 that offer free parking, shuttle service to the parks and complimentary breakfast. It’s all going to determine on what think is the best course of action for your family and if it’s worth spending extra money to be on property.
