1. This is a much less expensive option.
2. You can prepare your own food and eat at the times you prefer.
3. Using your own vehicle gives you flexibility over the time you visit the parks.
4. Your home will have both a microwave and a refrigerator. Most Disney Resort rooms have refrigerators, or they are available upon request, but most do not have microwaves.
5. There is more to the Orlando/Kissimmee area than Disney.
6. A private pool means you don’t have to fight for loungers or space in the pool.
7. You will be closer to fast food and other restaurant options than staying on the Resort.
8. It can be relaxing to get away from the Disney crowds, especially if you stay a little ways away from Disney World.
9. A house is bigger than any Disney Resort hotel rooms, and having separate bedrooms for the kids is unbeatable.
10. People may build such high expectations of staying on the Resort property that they will not be happy with minor imperfections and inconveniences, and will ultimately have a better experience staying off property.
