As a frequent visitor, I would absolutely stay on site. The savings are lost when you pay for parking, gas and in the time wasted traveling to and fro. Imagine your 1 week vacation has 112 wakeful hours (-8 hrs sleep). A $4000 trip costs about $36/hour. If you spend 1 hour a day commuting thats $252 of wasted time and $70 for parking + gas. Plus you can't go wasily back for your nap and you have to deal with surly hotel staff!

Have you looked into renting DVC points for a family of five to grab a studio some where. For us it was not to much more than a moderate.

To help save I grab disney dollars now and again, helps me to not spend.
