Hi, Becky, If you want that full "Disney Experience" I suggest staying on property. This will give you Disney Magic 24/7!
By staying at a Disney Resort, you get complimentary transportation to and from the airport and you get to enjoy Extra Magic Hours. Once at your resort, Disney transportation will take you wherever you need to go - theme parks, Downtown Disney, or water parks.
There are resorts to fit any budget: value, moderate, or deluxe. Click
