As one of the original cast members at this resort, all I can say is that this was a superb article. Impulse buys eat you alive, and the generosity of the park isn’t commonly known (free refills). Unless you have an unlimited ATM machine budget, the minor planning involved here really can add up to hundred of dollars if not much more depending on the size of your party. What a great job on this article. WDW might be a happy place but they are there to maximize profits, but they aren’t predatory about. Just put in a little advance work. I use Booking.com to help me find cheap places if which there are many along the major roads into Kissimmee.
