The key thing here is that we're likely going early in the summer, in June, so swimming/pools are suddenly an important consideration, and somethign I know NOTHING about at Disney. So a few questions:
1. is it worth it to add the water park package to the base tickets. Basically, the 8 day magic pass gets you into one park per day. Add park hopper for $234. Add water parks for another $234, and it's like "holy crap, that's $500 more just on tickets?!"
2. alternative to water parks is to stay at a lodge (we will be staying at the park unless more experienced heads on here give us a better plan) that has a great pool. Which resorts have the best pools? Our general rule is to cheap out on accomodations -- as long as it's clean and functional, we're fine. We don't loiter in the room -- we're too busy being out and about, so springing extra for rooms isn't our usual plan. But if a park has a fantastic pool with several slides, etc., maybe...?
Thoughts? I'll take referrals to websites for more insight. Glad to do my own legwork.

If you want a website that gives you everything Disney/Universal or Orlando then I would use this site:
http://wdwinfo.com/
Everything you need is there.....
TBH, staying offsite has it's pro's and con's just as staying on property does too. Are you going there for the "Disney" effect or is it more of an all encompassing trip?
Also.....are you flying or driving down?
I think you are crazy for going in June considering no matter where you stay the pools/parks/rides/restaurants will be excessively crowded.
