Disney just released their new free dining promotion today for limited dates:
"Now through Aug. 27, 2011, book the new Memories Vacation Package for 5 nights and 6 days at select Disney Moderate, Disney Deluxe or Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts at the Walt Disney World® Resort for arrivals most nights Aug. 28 – Sept. 24 and get the Disney Dining Plan** FREE!**"
We have done both onsite stays (during free dining) and offsite condo stays and we truly prefer offsite. With 2 teenagers we need SPACE, LOL.
There are literally hundreds of choices within 10 miles or less of Disney World and most are very affordable.
To us the extra magic hours (for staying onsite) are just not worth giving up the space and comfort of a condo or townhome.
