Saving money when visiting to Walt Disney World might seem to be a contradiction, but with a little planning and preparation, you can have a great trip to Orlando without running up a huge bill.

The Walt Disney World Resort is definitely huge, with an area of nearly 49 total miles near Kissimmee, Florida. There are four major amusement areas, Epcot, MGM, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so many things to see, tourists almost always spend at least 7 days or more just to take it all in. Disney World has built more than a dozen resorts just to house visitors to the area.

Fortunately, Disney executives recognize that people are looking for different options when visiting the area. For this reason, they have hotels that fit every budget. Hotels are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe levels. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying cheap, but visitors won’t be disappointed, as the Disney Value hotels are nice and comfortable. Moderate resorts are definitely nicer, promising bigger rooms and sit down dining on site.

Deluxe resorts at Disney are top of the line accommodations built to please and placate any customer. Many of the hotels such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are along the monorail, so guests can easily travel to the Magic Kingdom without having a car or taking a bus. Guest accommodations are much larger, and the Disney World environment is of course magical.

So how do you decide which resort to stay at? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on gifts or pamper your family with the best, after all you are on vacation? Value options like the Disney World Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $80 to $130 a night, while Deluxe Hotel start from $200 and go up from there. As you can tell, if you multiply that by 5 to 10 nights, you would end up spending thousands more just for a nicer room.

The choice belongs to the visitor, but no matter what you pick, tourists can be sure Disney World employees will do their best to be sure you and your family have a great visit on your trip away from home.
