My kids are 13 and 15 and we live in England. I'm pricing up our first trip to WDW for next summer and the costs are eye-watering!
The kids are't fans of extreme rides and prefer calmer rides. We've been to Disneyland Paris and they liked Small World, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, Pirates of the Caribbean etc but did not want to go on Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain (though I went on it!) or similar big thrill rides.
My question is, if we don't plan to go on the big rides are we better off staying off site (rather than the Swan or Dolphin which I've been looking at) to save some money as maybe the EMH and FP are not going to be that useful for us? I know there are other benefits like transportation and closeness to the parks but when I compare the costs I'm not sure if we'd be getting the best value. What do you guys think?
We also plan on going to Universal Studios and I have the same question. Is staying at one of the expensive on site resorts worth it if we're not going on the big rides or are we better off staying offsite and getting to the park at the 'normal' entry time? We'll be more interested in the experiences like wandering around Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
