Changing onsite to offsite

[Tracey2019]

Posting here as it may be more forum specific being accommadation.
Ive booked 2wks in may 2020 at pofq with ugraded qdsp for my 4yo and i, also have a $200 gift card. All in im nearly 4.5k. My dilemma is do i keep what i have or do i swap it to a villa? My villa pros are it will most likely be cheaper and we will have our own pool and can chill out. Help 🙈🙈

Tracey I think it depends, car? No car then on-site is always going to be easier to manage. I've no idea what a Villa costs /week but no matter which way you do it the constants are: the price of the tickets & the cost of food. Even supermarket food costs are high at the minute but offsite eating is way cheaper than onsite , having priced it both ways, we have always found that it's the "extra" $200 from the GC that can make the difference.Is the upgrade really worth it?
Ds has paid £3600 for POR upgraded this Sept so £4100 sounds a lot.

How do you think you are going to be planning your days?

One of the benefits of being on site with a small child is that you can quickly get back to your hotel. In my opinion it makes it a lot easier to spend the morning at the park, pop back to the hotel to relax by the pool for a couple of hours, then go back to the park in the evening.

Work out your costs carefully including food. Car hire parking petrol etc. And then you can make a real comparison. It may be cheaper but it might not.

on top of the villa cost you need to add

£838 park tickets
£400 car hire
£350 parking
£1400 food (at £100 per day)
————
£2788

Assuming you wouldn’t have a car if you stay onsite.

So I don’t think your savings will be very much. When you add on the cost of the villa

However. You will definitely have more space and your own pool so it is a different kind of holiday and it really depends which kind of holiday you prefer.

Is it just the two of you? I think I’d feel a bit lost in a big villa with just two of us. But I know some people do like it
