Resorts:  Deluxe, Moderate, Value?

Not sure which Disney resort is right for you? First, you must understand the categories of hotels. In today’s blog, we will talk about the different categories and which may be good for you. 

Deluxe Resorts and Deluxe Resort Villas – Location, Location, Location! These resorts are USUALLY within walking distance or a quick Monorail, Skyliner, or Ferry Boat ride to the parks. These resorts give you an escape from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks while still staying close to the parks. The theming is very subtle in these resorts. There are many dining options and other amenities. Club Level is also offered at these resorts. When staying at Club Level, you get access to the Club Level Lounge. Perks of Club Level Lounge are continental breakfast, hot samples from resort restaurants, evening wine and beer selection, desserts, and cordials, all of which are complimentary.

The Deluxe Villas also give you more room and, more than likely, a kitchen or a kitchenette. One of the significant perks when staying at this resort is that you get Evening Hours at Magic Kingdom or EPCOT on select nights. Evening Hours mean that the park is only open to Deluxe Resort guests.  

Who is this resort for? If you like to relax on your Disney vacation and spend a significant time at the resort, I would suggest a Deluxe resort for you. Not only are you closer to the magic but you have more eating and shopping options available to you.

Moderate Resorts: These resorts offer you a blend of amenities and theming. They feature larger rooms than the value resort rooms. These resorts will also be the middle price-point of the stand-alone hotels. You can do carriage rides and surrey bike rentals at these resorts. They have multiple places to eat that offer a quick-service option and a sit-down restaurant. 

Who is this resort for? If you want more Disney-theming, a little more amenities than the value resorts, then these are the resorts for you. They are not as expensive as a value resort yet offer some of the same amenities.

Value Resorts: These resorts pack lots of Disney-theming with a very reasonable price point. The rooms are smaller than moderate or deluxe, but you get a good bang for your buck, and you still get most theme park perks, like early morning entry at all the parks. One bonus is that you can get to any of the four parks, 30-minutes before park time and enjoy certain areas of the park before the official park opening. All value resorts have Disney Buses as free transportation, and POP and Art of Animation have the Skyliner. All-Star Music and Art of Animation do offer Family Suites. These will be more than a standard room in price but not as much as a Deluxe. These suites offer two bathrooms and a kitchenette and sleep six.

Who is this resort for? If you are a park open to park close person or young kids, these are the resorts for you. As previously stated, this resort is very reasonable in price point. The rooms are the smallest on the property but if the only time you are spending at the resort is to sleep and shower, these are the best options to suit your needs.

Campgrounds: Did you know you can go camping at Disney World? Yep! They have campsites. You can bring your tent, camper, or RV to the resort. These are generally the lowest price per night, as you bring along your accommodations. There are communal bathrooms and showers like at a campsite you’d find elsewhere in the country. 

Who are the campgrounds for? People who enjoy camping or who have their RV.
