True. Though really, Pop is usually around $70 a night and that includes airport transportation and extra magic hours. You make it up somewhere. It's really all about what you want and how you want to budget. We used to stay off site as well, but we stayed at All Star Music on a deal once and that was it for us. In the end, it really doesn't matter where you stay, as long as you can get to the parks. There's a set of hotels in the Downtown Disney area that are not owned by Disney, but they still consider them Disney hotels. They're usually pretty inexpensive as well. Lots of options to go through, but we have time.
