We are a family of five and solved the cost of Disney by deciding to go to Disney every other year. We save and stay at the Poly. We love the larger room, its quiet, on the monorail, got the boat to the magic kingdom, we love the concierge service. Its like coming home. Our last trip was in December of 2009....since our "children" are now 22, 20 and 18 we talked about getting two rooms at a moderate but all three of our girls chipped in and helped with expenses. Now I realize not everybody has children who work and can help pay but as stated previously that is the one reason we went every other year. We always had a chance to save. This is our off year and we have decided to spend a few days at Disneyland in November. Because Disneyland is closer we may go there more often. Our biggest problem during our last trip was not the cost of Disney but the cost for five to fly from Washington state to Florida. It is much cheaper to fly from Washington to California.
