We love staying in a villa - it really does give you flexibility and privacy but I would check on a map where the villas are before you book. If your DH is going to drop you off and pick you up he is not going to be happy driving a long distance. Try to book a community as close to Disney property as you can. Although some adverts say 10 mins to disney we have found that the driving time is underestimated sometimes. Best to be as close as you can get to stop DH getting annoyed.

You could always stay on disney property which gives you access to their transportation system which is free. Lots of cons compared to a villa but they do have their good points too. It would mean you are independant from your DH and he doesn't have to ferry you around all the time and if he wants to join you he can.

Whatever you decide to do I would do it soon. The villas book up early and I would imagine the hotels do too.

Good luck.

We often spend our days working on our villa but our adult children still like to go to the parks so we still operate the Mum and Dad taxi service. Dropping off and collecting from the parks is very easy and you have the choice of setting a meeting time for collection or if you are going in the parks using walkie talkies to meet up.

The first time we visited Florida we knew no better and thought it would be a good idea to stay on site at Disney in a hotel. Yes, there are some 'perks' with staying in a hotel on site especially if you do not have a car but then if you want to visit SeaWorld or explore the shopping malls it is not so convenient. We only did it once and then found villas which give you a complete home with lots of space, all your own facilities on hand and no walking 5 or so minutes, as we had to, to the dining hall, and your own swimming pool - so no more cramped conditions for our family.
