That's two people who have said staying on site is better because of parking. I have to disagree.Parking was only $8/day (last Dec) and transferrable between all the parks for that day. A 3 bedroom, two bath villa with full kitchen is $105 a night...and sometimes you can even beat that rate (we only paid $75 a night last December). The difference more than covers the parking, and you get so much more room, and have the option to cook if you want (at least cereal in the morning).And, if you drive, you set your own schedule and gain at least an hour a day that you would normally spend on a bus or waiting for a bus each end of the day.I have tried it both ways....stayed at the Contemporary, stated at Old Key West, and stayed at local (5 minute away) off-site hotels/condos...and I have to say, the best and cheapest was when we stayed off-site.TJR
