Saving some cash when you go to Walt Disney World might seem to be a contradiction, but with some planning and preparation, you can have an enjoyable trip to Florida without running up a huge credit card debt.

The DisneyWorld Resort is definitely huge, with an area of almost 48 total miles near Kissimmee, Florida. There are four major theme areas, Epcot, MGM Studios, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, tourists almost always spend at least a week just to take it all in. Disney has built more than 12 hotels just to house visitors to the area.

Fortunately, Disney recognizes that people are looking for different things when going to Orlando. Because of this, they have resorts that fit everyone’s budget. Resorts are separated into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe levels. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying cheap, but customers won’t be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are clean and comfortable. Moderate hotels are definitely nicer, promising slightly larger rooms and full-service, sit down restaurants on the property.

Deluxe hotels at Walt Disney World are top-of-the-line accommodations designed to satisfy and placate any customer. Some of the hotels such as the Contemporary Resort and Polynesian are along the monorail, so guests can easily travel to the Magic Kingdom without having a car or riding a bus. Rooms are also larger, and the Disney World experience is always magical.

What then is the best way to pick a Disney World Resort? Well would you rather use your hard earned cash on gifts or pamper yourself with the best, after all you are on holiday? Value rooms like the Pop Century can cost somewhere from $80 to $120 a night, while Deluxe Resorts start from $200 and go up from there. As you can tell, if you extrapolate that by 5 to 10 nights, you could end up spending thousands more just for a nicer place.

The choice is yours, but whatever you pick, you can be sure Disney World cast members will work hard to be sure you and your family have a good visit.
