Hello Kristen!
You are correct in saying that the special offers and discounts offered by Walt Disney World are for guests who plan on staying at a Walt Disney World Resort and plan on staying for multiple days. These discounts are definitely GREAT incentives to stay and play at Walt Disney World for your entire Florida vacation.
My family has stayed off-property a few times for our Walt Disney World Vacations. However, we just never felt like we ever got the full "Disney experience" staying off-property. I will tell you the
benefits of staying at a Disney Resort are incredible! For example, one of the many benefits is Extra Magic Hours. This is where the Disney Theme Parks are open an hour early or three hours later for only Disney Resort guests. This is AWESOME and can really give you the advantage of doing everything you want at the Disney Parks!
Now, I don't know if you serve in the Military, but there are
GREAT discounts available for active and retired Military Personnel! For your convenience, you can learn more about all of the other Walt Disney World
Special Offers at

If you have other questions, please let me know! I am here to help in any way!
Have a MAGICAL day!
Wes
