How to Save When Visiting Disney World

Saving money when visiting to DisneyWorld probably seems to be a contradiction in terms, but with some smart planning and preparation, you can have a great trip to Florida without running up a huge bill.

The Walt Disney World Resort is definitely huge, covering almost 50 total miles just outside Kissimmee, Florida. There are four major amusement parks, Epcot, MGM, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so many things to see, visitors usually spend at least a week just to take it all in. Disney has constructed more than 14 resorts just to house visitors to the parks.

Fortunately, Disney executives recognize that people are searching for different things when going to Orlando. For this reason, they have resorts that fit every budget. Hotels are separated into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Walt Disney way of saying inexpensive, but you will not be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are nice and comfortable. Moderate resorts are one step up, offering slightly larger living areas and full-service, sit down restaurants on the property.

Deluxe resorts at Walt Disney World are full service accommodations designed to satisfy and pamper any customer. Many of the resorts such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are along the elevated train, so guests 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 always magical.

So how do you decide which resort to stay at? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on souvenirs or indulge yourself with the best, remember you are on holiday? Value options like the Pop Century can cost somewhere from $65 to $110 a night, while Deluxe Hotel start from $250 and go up from there. As you can tell, if you extrapolate that by 5 to 10 days, you could end up spending thousands more just for a nicer room.

The option belongs to the visitor, but no matter what you decide, you will be sure Disney World cast members will work hard to make sure you and your family have a great time on your trip away from home.
