Disney World - Where to Stay and Other Advice

Quick Synopsis: My wife wants to bring our boys (2 and 5 years old) to Disney World this coming Spring. She also wants to go with her family (Her mother, father, brother, sister, sister's husband, and their 2 year old daughter). We had our first "Family Meeting" to discuss last weekend and everyone could not have been more different on their wish list of stuff to do. Everything from flights vs driving, staying onsite vs offsite, what to do while we are there, etc. was all different and nothing could be agreed upon except for which days we are going. My MIL and FIL said they would pay for the place to stay if we stay offsite in one house or they would help pay for a room onsite. My wife and I want to stay onsite because we think it will be much more convenient with small kids. Everyone else wants to stay offsite together in the same house. Obviously it is going to cost more but I am already chopping off my arm to go so I might as well do what I want to.

Do you recommend staying onsite or offsite with small children? Recommendations on resorts?

Any other tips?

TIA
