Disney World is unarguably the largest family vacation destination in the United States. But. . . can the everyday family afford to go to Disney World on a limited budget? YOU BET!
There are many options for you to consider on a Disney vacation.
The obvious first choice is to stay on the property for maximum convenience and fun.
When you stay at a Disney Resort you get,
- Complimentary Transportation and Luggage Service
- Extra Time in the Theme Parks
- Up to 30% Savings on Dining
At the time of this writing, the theme park is currently offering the following packages for a six night, seven day stay for a family of four:
• $1,600 for a stay at a value resort
• $2,000 for a stay at a moderate resort
• $2,700 for a stay at a deluxe resort
• $2750 for a stay at a deluxe villa resort
- Value resorts include All-Star Sports and All-Star Music hotels with the entire resort centering around those themes. They are fun for the kids and have themed pools and food courts. The rooms are standard, but comfortable and accommodate four people easily.
Moderate resorts offer more amenities than the value priced ones. These resorts include the Caribbean Beach resort, Coronado Springs resort, and Port Orleans.
These resorts offer themed pools, full service dining areas, whirlpools, and watercraft rentals since most of these resorts are on the various lakes the property has.
The rooms are more luxurious and roomy than the value ones.
The food offered at this resort is more gourmet, and the pools are more elaborate than the All Star Music, but they’re still fun at both places.
- The deluxe resorts are the nicest that Disney has to offer. These hotels include Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club Resort, Boardwalk Inn, and the Grand Floridian.
These resorts have elaborately themed pools, world class restaurants, room service, valet parking, whirlpools, concierge service, and a fitness center. They go out of their way to insure your comfort and satisfaction which can be very important for some people.
- There are other options you have on the park grounds as well that you can consider for your Disney vacation. Disney also offers vacation club resorts that are basically condos that include the general amenities that Disney offers to all their guests.
These units have multiple rooms, a kitchen or kitchenette, spacious rooms, and valet parking service. This would be a great option for larger families.
Extra Value
When you stay at one of the Disney resorts, you get added value as well. The complex has one of the most elaborate transportation systems around. You can hop aboard a luxury bus and arrive at whatever park you want to visit with no worries. The buses run at all hours and as a guest, you can ride them as many times as you want.
You will also get transportation from the airport to your hotel including baggage service. This is a great perk since you won’t have to worry about traversing the many roads that lead to the various resorts. They’ll take you directly from the airport to your hotel for easy check-in!
The parks open early and stay open later for resort guests. This is an especially great aspect of staying on the grounds because the lines are shorter after hours and you don’t have to wait as long to ride your favorite rides.
