Saving Some Cash at Disney World

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

The Walt Disney World Resort is definitely huge, with an area of nearly 47 square miles near Kissimmee, Florida. There are four gigantic amusement parks, Epcot, MGM, the Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, tourists usually spend at least a week just to see everything. Disney World has built more than a dozen resorts 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. Resorts are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying cheap, but visitors will not be disappointed, as the Disney Value resorts are nice and comfortable. Moderate hotels are definitely nicer, promising slightly larger living areas and full-service, sit down restaurants on the property.

Deluxe hotels at Disney World are top-of-the-line accommodations built to satisfy and pamper any visitor. Many of the hotels such as the Contemporary Resort and Yacht Club are on the monorail, so you can easily ride to Epcot without having a rental car or taking a bus. Rooms are much bigger, and the Disney World experience is of course magical.

How does one decide what to hotel to choose? Well would you rather spend your money on presents or pamper yourself with the best, remember you are on holiday? Value options like the Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $75 to $120 per night, while top end Resorts start at $250 and go higher from there. As you can tell, if you extrapolate that by 7 to 11 nights, you would end up spending thousands more just for a better place.

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 good visit on your trip away from home.
