Save on Your Disney World Hotel
Oct 4th, 2008 by Peak District Cottages
Saving money when visiting to Disney World might seem to be a contradiction, but with a little planning and preparation, you can have an enjoyable trip to Orlando without running up a huge bill.
The Walt Disney World Resort is absolutely huge, covering nearly 50 square miles just outside Kissimmee, Florida. There are four gigantic amusement areas, Epcot, MGM, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, tourists almost always spend at least a week just to see everything. Disney has built more than 14 hotels just to take care of everyone visiting the area.
Fortunately, Disney executives recognize that folks are searching for different things when visiting the area. For this reason, they have resorts that fit everyone’s budget. Hotels are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying cheap, but visitors will not be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are nice and comfortable. Moderate hotels are one step up, promising bigger living areas and full service dining on the property.
Deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World are top of the line accommodations designed to please and placate any visitor. Some of the resorts such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are along the elevated train, so guests can easily travel to Epcot without having a car or riding a bus. Guest accommodations are much larger, and the Disney World experience is always magical.
So how do you decide which resort to stay at? Well would you rather spend your money on gifts or indulge yourself with the best, after all you are on vacation? Value options like the Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $70 to $120 a night, while Deluxe Resorts start at $200 and go higher from there. As you can see, if you multiply that by 6 to 10 days, you would end up spending hundreds extra just for a nicer room.
The choice belongs to the visitor, but whatever you pick, you will be sure Disney World cast members will do their best to be sure you and your family have a great time on your trip away from home.
