I've been driving myself insane trying to figure out ways to save money on our upcoming trip, and I had a thought and can't find any info on it. Has anyone ever stayed on-property, but bought park tickets elsewhere? (Like undercover tourist). I am considering this because we have two small children, including a princess obsessed three year old, and I want the best shot at making reservations for characters ADRs, as well as the convenience of staying close by. And we may want to try the dining plan because of the character meals. But I could save some $ (and therefore stay at a better resort) by purchasing the tickets offsite, and maybe using rewards points to get them. Is there a downside to this that I am missing? Can I not make FP+ reservations the same way or something?
I figure the cost is the difference between staying at Pop Century vs Art of Animation or Contemporary. Thoughts on all of this appreciated - thanks!
