Other than that...
I'll give credit where it's due: this is our first time staying "on property" for Disney and everyone and everything is very nice and well done. The shuttles between the parks and resorts are incredibly handy. Aside from the shit weather A+

We always stayed on property starting with our first stay in 1974 at the Polynesian. You can't beat it.

The shuttles alone make it worthwhile. Uber or Lyft to and from the airport and they make a rental car completely unnecessary.

Wonderful weather: not cold, not hot. By the end of May it can get just too damn inhumanly warm. The rides are one thing when it's hot, but entirely different beast when it's cold, that's asking for frostbite, a strange thing to get in Central Florida.

Yea, staying on Disney property is your best bet, when/if you can afford it. It's certainly not the cheaper option by far, but if you're willing to sacrifice the contents of your wallet and all savings accounts to the Disney Gods, you will have a very good time. Don't forget Universal, Seaworld, Legoland, and even Busch Gardens (Tampa) if you have the extra bucks and a ride there. I'd recommend a couple of good springs parks to visit, but not in this weather.

A little fun hack that actually costs nothing is just to get on the monorail and takes circles around the parks. My wife and I occasionally do that when we're around Disney's "free" areas for dinner. I haven't been on paid Disney property since 2010, and the last I paid for a ticket (even at FL resident price) was a few years before that. We go to Universal maybe once a year (we live near it), and went to Legoland last year and had a great time.

I see! Had to look that up.

If I'd known, maybe we could have met up for a couple moments. I've known some of you for so long yet never met, it's almost like you don't really exist except by some kind of futuristic cosmic AI or something.
