UPDATE we have booked offsite. We booked through Costco and found a deal at Sheraton Vistana Villages Resort Villas (the one with the pirate ship at the pool ). We are staying six days, with base tickets for 5 days, for three people. This is a 2BR villa and the total is $2850, including tickets. We thought that was a good deal!
I think it will be neat to give off-site a try, especially since we are driving and will have our own car. I hope to be able to check out a few resorts while there. I think we will know pretty quickly if we want to do off-site again, or try onsite next time. I'll be happy to send an update in a few weeks; we are going March 14th!
Thank you all so much for your help and great advice.
hello!
It's my first trip to Disney.
I am traveling with husband and 4 year old daughter. September.
The purpose of the trip is to go on a grand Disney trip while I am still healthy. I am in early stage ms but it has been acting up a lot lately. I have also been having TIAs.
My ms leaves me extremely fatigued after very little activity- example- sometimes I cannot walk Back to my car after grocery shopping. I realize that Disney is miles of walking. But I'm determined to make this trip and memory for my daughter while I am able.
My question is - which resort to stay at?
Villas at Grand Floridian 1 br suite
Or
Royal rooms at POR ?
Goals - minimize walking at resort itself
Easiest transportation to magic kingdom
Daughter has amazing princess themed memories
Some other factors:
Husband snores. BAD I sleep
In separate room at home
Daughter is an older soul and sensitive. She doesn't enjoy huge crowds or crazy splash pads and that kind of thing. A crowded bus might be overwhelming for her for example. A Disney junior show at the pool might be the opposite of fun for her. When I hear about the Cinderella dance at GF that is definately something she'd love
Thoughts? The Royal rooms are so tempting and much more affordable but we can swing it for the GF. We just have NO IDEA how big of a deal the bus transportation is or isn't....etc
Thank you all!
