Main reason being - cost. I've priced it up and the cost of a long weekend for us travelling from Scotland going to DLP is ridiculous! I see the price and think - jeez, for another couple of hundred we could get to Florida for a fortnight! And for that extra couple of hundred we get 6 Disney parks, US/IOS/SW, better weather... no contest.

Not snobbery on my part, it's just better financially for us.

And as for saying that you have to compare like for like - then of course you will find DLP cheaper than staying onsite in WDW - but the fact is, at WDW you do not need to stay onsite to have a great time or be near the parks. The set up at DLP isn't the same, they don't have the same off site infra structure. I priced up for 3 nights at Hotel Cheyanne for 2 ad 2 ch flying from Edinburgh and we got very little change from £1400! And I know I can definately get an Orlando holiday for that price!

You find me a holiday for 2 ad & 2 kids to WDW staying onsite with park tickets and breakfast included for £1400 !

I've said it time and time again people arent comparing like with like.

I've just come back from Orlando.. Holiday Inn Sunspree LBV + flights with Virgin in feb (so off peak ) 14 nights £2600.

Disney tickets would be £600 ish for 5 days (we have myw tickets) so thats £3200.

Stopping onsite would add what £1000 on to that.

I've been to DLP 4 times and never paid more than £900 for all of us,stopping in Newport Bay and that includes tickets and Eurostar.

I'm sure i could do it cheaper too if we drove but we cant take our car on the eurostar so that cancels out that idea.
