I hope. I hope. I hope. I hope. Welcome to navigate the Disney Parks. With the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. You're listening to Rope Drop Radio.

To infinity and beyond. Welcome to another Rope Drop Radio. I'm your host, Derek,assman. With me, as always, is the Disney dentist.

Dr. Doug, how you doing, Doug?

Doing good, Derek.

How are you doing today? I'm doing great because today's topic is one that I get a lot of questions about, and I know you do too,

is do you stay on site or do you want to stay offsite when you go to Disney World? It is a big question, and a lot of times for a lot of people, it comes down to money.

And what's a value for you?

What are you looking to get out of your money that you spend at Disney?

And there's a lot of different options.

Well, I know for me, I was a huge off-site stayer.

For years, you could always get great deals online and I was really anti,

again, staying on property until I went a couple months ago for the first time staying on property

at the Riverside and had a great experience with the transportation. My kids loved it, magic bands,

and now I think we are locked in to staying on site. Yeah, once you go

on site is very difficult to go back offsite. We've stayed at 13 different Disney resorts in the last

couple years. There are 28 Disney resorts total. So staying on site is not just that simple of a question.

It's also where would you want to stay?

So today we'll just try to figure out whether you're on or off.

But a lot of different experiences, it's not just a hotel when you're staying on site.

And that, I think, is what you notice and how Disney kind of encompasses everything

and makes it just amazing for everyone.

Well, and one thing Disney does differently is that they have different tiers of resorts.
