We are planning family trip to WDW, driving from the midwest via RV and planning to stay for 5 days in mid March. Have 4 children ages 13, 11, 6 and 1. They want to do WDW (not much interest in Animal Kingdom), SeaWorld, and a day at a waterpark.
I've reviewed many of the posts in various discussion threads, and would like to know what I'm missing with the following plans:
(1) Rent vacation home (3 BR).
(2) 3 single day passes for WDW theme parks
(3) 1 day pass to water park
(4) 1 day pass to SeaWorld
The costs of doing this versus staying on site (package price with 5 day park hopper pass for all 6 of us is $3100) is about $800 less.
What is the 'magic' that we would be missing by doing this? The kids are not interested in roving between parks on the same day, and based upon experience with them they will need down time each evening. The prospect of being able to relax in a house and own pool versus a (relatively) cramped hotel suite (don't forget how cranky a one year old can get when they are short on sleep) is very enticing. We have some experience doing the vacation home/condo rental, and realize there is no maid service, and there are frequently departure cleaning fees.
Your collective wisdom and thoughts will be most appreciated.
