We have not stayed offsite, but were considering for a shorter last minute vacation, but if my searches are correct Im coming within $200, actually the $200 is cheaper to stay onsite for a 3 park base (no extras/we dont hop nor want waterpark) 5 night stay at a value (first week of July), versus buying the 3 day base from UT, and staying at a moderate offsite ie dolphin/wyndham type $300 per night hotel..am I missing something? I thought it would be much cheaper as we love staying in the bubble and never consider otherwise..
