Is Saving Money at Disney World Possible?
Saving some cash when visiting to DisneyWorld probably seems to be a contradiction, but with a little planning and preparation, visitors can have an enjoyable visit to Florida without running up a huge credit card debt.
The DisneyWorld Resort is absolutely huge, with an area of nearly 46 total miles near Kissimmee, Florida. There are four gigantic theme parks, Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, visitors almost always spend at least 7 days or more just to see everything. Disney has built more than 12 resorts just to take care of everyone visiting the area.
Obviously, Disney executives recognize that folks are searching for different things when going to Orlando. For this reason, 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 cheap, but you will not be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are clean and comfortable. Moderate resorts are definitely nicer, promising slightly larger living areas and full-service, sit down dining on site.
Deluxe resorts at Disney are top of the line accommodations designed to satisfy and placate any visitor. Many of the hotels such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are along the elevated train, so you can simply ride to Epcot without using a rental car or riding a bus. Guest accommodations are also larger, and the Disney World environment is always magical.
So how do you decide which resort to stay at? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on souvenirs or pamper your family with the best, remember you are on vacation? Value rooms like the Disney Pop Century Resort can cost somewhere from $75 to $140 a night, while top end Resorts start from $200 and go up from there. As you can see, if you extrapolate that by 5 to 9 days, you could end up spending hundreds extra just for a better room.
The option is yours, but no matter what you pick, tourists will be sure Disney World employees will do their best to make sure you and your family have a great time.
