How to Save When Visiting Disney World
Saving some cash when you go to DisneyWorld might seem to be a contradiction, but with a little smart planning and preparation, you can have an enjoyable visit to Orlando without running up a huge bill.
The Walt Disney World Resort is absolutely huge, covering almost 48 square miles near Orlando, Florida. There are four major theme parks, Epcot, MGM, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, visitors almost always spend at least 7 days or more just to take it all in. Disney World has built more than a dozen resorts just to house visitors to the area.
Fortunately, Disney executives recognize that people are looking for different options when visiting the area. Because of this, they have hotels that fit everyone’s budget. Hotels are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Walt Disney way of saying inexpensive, but you won’t be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are nice and comfortable. Moderate resorts are one step up, offering bigger rooms and sit down dining on site.
Deluxe hotels at Disney World are top of the line accommodations built to please and placate any guest. Many of the hotels such as the Contemporary Resort and Polynesian are on the monorail, so guests can simply ride to the Magic Kingdom without having a car or riding a bus. Guest accommodations are much bigger, and the Disney environment is of course magical.
How does one decide what to hotel to choose? Well would you rather use your hard earned cash on presents or pamper your family with the best, after all you are on vacation? Value rooms like the Disney World Pop Century Resort can cost anywhere from $65 to $120 per night, while top end Hotel start at $225 and go up from there. As you can see, if you extrapolate that by 5 to 9 nights, you could end up spending thousands extra just for a nicer place.
The choice is yours, but no matter what you decide, tourists will be sure Disney World cast members will do their best to make sure you and your family have a great time on your trip away from home.
