Is Saving Money at Disney World Possible?
Saving money when visiting to Disney World might seem to be a contradiction, but with a little smart planning and preparation, visitors can have a great trip to Florida without running up a huge credit card debt.
The Walt Disney World Resort is absolutely huge, with an area of nearly 48 total miles just outside Kissimmee, Florida. There are four major amusement areas, Epcot, MGM, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, tourists usually spend at least a week just to take it all in. Disney has built more than 14 hotels just to house visitors to the area.
Obviously, Disney recognizes that people are searching for different things when visiting the area. Because of this, they have hotels that fit everyone's budget. Hotels are separated 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 resorts are clean and comfortable. Moderate resorts are one step up, promising bigger rooms and full-service, sit down restaurants on site.
Deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World are top-of-the-line accommodations designed to please and placate any customer. Some of the resorts such as the Grand Floridian and Polynesian are on the elevated train, so you can easily travel to the Magic Kingdom without using a car or taking a bus. Guest accommodations are also larger, and the Disney environment is of course magical.
So how do you decide which resort to stay at? Well would you rather spend your money on souvenirs or indulge yourself with the best, after all you are on vacation? Value rooms like the Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $65 to $110 a night, while Deluxe Hotel start from $225 and go higher from there. As you can tell, if you multiply that by 5 to 10 nights, you would end up spending hundreds extra just for a nicer room.
The choice is yours, but whatever 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.
