Need some advice
My partner and I are taking 2 of our college-aged adult sons and their girlfriends to DL next month and I really need some help in deciding on our accommodations.
Currently I have 3 separate suites reserved at the Marriott Suites in Garden Grove, and a 1br suite at DLH for roughly the same cost for a spring break trip.
Having 3 couples in a 1 br suite just seems so cramped and confined, but I've become so spoiled with the perks of staying onsite.
Pros for staying offsite:
A bit cheaper
All couples have their own room and own privacy
Includes breakfast, which will help with food costs
Pool/Spa open much later than at DLH
Restaurants near hotel more affordable than resort restaurants
Starbucks and Full bar at the hotel
Cons for staying offsite:
No early entry :-(
Have to cab/shuttle/uber every time we want to go back and forth between park & hotel
Tell me what you would do and why? I really want to stay onsite because I love being in the Disney bubble, but now that we have adult kids, not sure it outweighs the pros of staying offsite.
