We stayed at the residence inn and they fed us breakfast and dinner and shuttled us back and forth to disney and gave me a good discount from my job.
We stay on site at Disney world. It's made us snobs lol it's ruined regular motels/hotels for us LOL. Staying on Disney property is an experience all on it's own. constant bus/monorail service to all the parks all day long (every 20 minutes to and from the parks from 6 am to midnight). The atmosphere and little touches are awesome. The cleanliness can't be beat AND there is always a little touch of magic. For example... during this trip we celebrated Hannah's 4th birthday (I know... 4 years old. how did that happen lol) and we came back from the parks on the day of her birthday and there was a birthday card from Mickey, a cinderella trading pin (which we of course did NOT use for trading... it's special lol) and a voicemail from mickey and minnie singing happy birthday.

The resort we stayed at this time had a Magic Kingdom view so we woke up and went to bed with a beautiful view of cinderellas castle and got to watch the fireworks over the castle every single night (and of course they had a channel on the TV set up to pipe in the music for the fireworks show right to your room)

I think we are going to try The Boardwalk Villas this time around
