Planning a trip to Walt Disney World is exciting, but choosing where to stay can be one of the most important (and sometimes most confusing) decisions you make! With 20 Disney-owned resorts on property, there’s truly something for everyone.
But how do you know which resort is the best fit for your family, your travel style, and your budget? Let’s discuss the options.
Stay at a Disney Resort
As a travel professional, I ALWAYS recommend staying on property at a Walt Disney World resort. Not only do you stay immersed in the Disney magic 24/7, but you also enjoy exclusive perks like early park entry, complimentary transportation to and from the parks, and convenient access to all the action.
Plus, Disney resorts are known for their exceptional service, cleanliness, and theming. I have stayed in almost all of the Disney resorts, and none have disappointed!
Disney organizes its resorts into three categories:
- Value
- Moderate
- Deluxe
Each tier offers a different level of amenities, transportation options, and proximity to the parks.
Value Resorts
Value resorts are best for families looking to save a buck or guests who plan to spend most of their time in the parks. These resorts are playful and fun, with bold theming and all the essentials you need for a magical stay. They offer food court dining and rely primarily on bus transportation.
Moderate Resorts
Moderate resorts offer a step up in both comfort and ambiance. They feature more subtle theming, lush grounds, and more dining and recreational options. The pools are a bit more exciting, often including water slides and splash areas for kids. These resorts appeal to guests looking for a good balance of price and upgraded experience.
Deluxe Resorts
Deluxe resorts offer the most luxurious accommodations on Disney property. These resorts are known for their upscale design, expansive lobbies, signature dining, and top-notch amenities. Many Deluxe resorts offer monorail, boat, or walking access to the parks, making them ideal for
guests who prioritize convenience and comfort.
Things to Consider
Choosing the right resort involves more than just picking a price point. You’ll want to consider your park plans, transportation preferences, room size needs, dining priorities, and overall vacation goals.
