If at all possible, stay on the property. You won't have to drive the entire time you are there. The shuttles and trams are such a nice convenience. And the value properties are nice enough and all have great pools. We've taken the kids there twice and wouldn't do it any other way. First time we stayed at the Coronado Springs and the second time a value resort - the Pop Life - which is supposed to be the nicest of the values. Have Fun!!!
