Disneyworld advice?
Chris G:
Anyone been to Disneyworld lately? My wife is a Disney nut and wants to go in December. I've never been there before and it's been about 10 years since she has. Basically just looking for 1st hand reviews on the Disney hotels.
Thanks,
Chris

Just went in October. We stayed about ten minutes out of the Disney part of town. Cost a LOT less that way, lodging for maybe half what we would have paid a Disney hotel.
First thing I suggest to anyone is to check the Disney traveler's forum... can't remember the name right now but I'm sure Google will pop it right up. Those people are so hardcore they make us look casual. My wife made all the reservations over the phone and the instant she said the forum name the operators would just start busting out discounts left and right because they knew anyone from there had all the numbers lined up already.
EDIT: I think it's Disboards.

We stayed aat the BoardWalk. It was definately pricy, but we enjoyed our stay there tons. There was alot to do at night without having to drive anywhere.
ChadTower:
Yeah, we didn't have a night time issue. We had small kids with us, so we couldn't go out. Plus we were getting to the parks when the gates opened and leaving 12 or more hours later so we were dead by then anyway.

Yup, that's the one. My wife is a disney freak and she reads disboards religiously. She convinced me to buy into the Disney Vacation Club (sort of a disney time share). We're staying at the saratoga springs resort in June. Kind of looking forward to it. It's a 2 bedroom villa with 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and laundry.
Growing up my wife always stayed at the hilton just off disney grounds. It was much cheaper and the hilton had a deal with disney so hilton guests still got to enter the parks 1 hour earlier just like guests at disney hotels.
If you haven't gone before, I'd recommend staying on disney property. It's much more convenient and the kids will probably enjoy it more (I'm guessing...no kids for me).
