Saving some cash when you go to Disney World might seem to be a contradiction, but with some smart planning and preparation, you can have a great trip to Orlando without running up a huge credit card debt.
The DisneyWorld Resort is absolutely huge, covering almost 50 square miles near Kissimmee, Florida. There are four gigantic amusement areas, Epcot, MGM, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so many things to see, tourists almost always spend at least a week just to see everything. Disney has built more than 10 resorts just to house visitors to the parks.
Fortunately, Disney recognizes that people are searching for different things when going to Orlando. Because of this, they have resorts that fit everyone’s budget. Hotels are separated into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying inexpensive, but you won’t be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are clean and comfortable. Moderate hotels are one step up, promising bigger rooms and full-service, sit down dining on site.
Deluxe hotels at Walt Disney World are full service accommodations designed to please and placate any tourist. Many of the hotels such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are on the monorail, so you can simply travel to Epcot without using a car or riding a bus. Rooms are also bigger, and the Disney environment is always magical.
How does one decide what to hotel to choose? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on gifts or indulge your family with the best, remember you are on holiday? Value options like the Pop Century can cost anywhere from $80 to $140 a night, while top end Resorts start from $225 and go up from there. As you can tell, if you extrapolate that by 7 to 9 nights, you would end up spending hundreds more just for a better room.
The option is yours, but no matter what you pick, you will be sure Disney World cast members will work hard to make sure you and your family have a good visit on your trip away from home.
