We're taking a nice long trip next month with our four-year-old and four-month-old, so non-park days are a must. We're not going into the parks on arrival day because we are driving and we're not exactly sure when we'll be getting into town, so to me it felt like a waste of money to pay for park tickets for a day where we'd potentially only have a few hours to spend in a park. There's one Sunday during our stay and we'll be heading off-property to go to church, so, again, a shortened day with limited amount of time to spend in a park anyway, so we decided to make that day a non-park day. It's not quite the halfway point of our stay, but almost, and we're not quite sure what we're going to do that day- either hang out at our resort or at Disney Springs- but we figure the recharging time will be nice so we can dive back in to a full week of park days. And yeah, as others have said, it seems like a waste of money to spend so much on a resort and then not actually spend any time there. If we were staying off-site we probably wouldn't schedule any non-park days, but we're staying at a moderate, which nowadays is not all that "moderate", budget-wise, so we want to get our money's worth.
