How to Save Money at Disney World
Saving money when you go to Disney World probably seems to be a contradiction in terms, but with some planning and preparation, visitors can have an enjoyable trip to Orlando without running up a huge credit card debt.
The DisneyWorld Resort is absolutely huge, with an area of nearly 50 square miles near Kissimmee, Florida. There are four major theme areas, Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, visitors usually spend at least 7 days or more just to take it all in. Disney has constructed more than a dozen resorts just to house visitors to the parks.
Fortunately, Disney recognizes that folks are looking for different options when visiting the area. 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 Walt Disney way of saying inexpensive, but customers will not be disappointed, as the Disney Value resorts are nice and comfortable. Moderate resorts are definitely nicer, offering bigger living areas and full service dining on site.
Deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World are top of the line accommodations designed to please and placate any customer. Some of the hotels such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are along the elevated train, so you can easily 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.
What then is the best way to pick a Disney World Resort? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on presents or pamper your family with the best, remember you are on holiday? Value options like the Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $75 to $110 per night, while top end Resorts start from $225 and go higher from there. As you can see, if you extrapolate that by 6 to 9 nights, you could end up spending thousands extra just for a better room.
The option belongs to the visitor, 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 good time on your trip away from home.
