Help with trip to Florida.

I've lived in Orlando and worked in tourism for the last 22 years, so if you need help, shoot me questions.

Personally, I like to stay in a villa with a kitchen whenever possible, and although your price range won't get you one on Disney property, there are more timeshare resorts within 10 minutes of Disney than I can count.

Sure, there are many plusses about staying on Disney property like convenience, but it comes at a high cost and you have a hard time finding anything that isn't mobbed and a tourist trap when you leave the parks to eat.

A big factor on cost will be the time of year you plan to travel, and I am guessing it will be when your son is out of school, which means many others will probably be doing the same.
