How to Save Money at Disney World

Saving money when you go to DisneyWorld probably seems to be a contradiction, but with a little smart planning and preparation, visitors can have a great visit to Florida without running up a huge credit card debt.

The DisneyWorld Resort is absolutely huge, covering almost 46 total miles just outside Kissimmee, Florida. There are four major theme parks, Epcot, MGM Studios, 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 built more than 10 hotels just to house visitors to the parks.

Fortunately, Disney executives recognize that folks are searching for different options when visiting the area. For this reason, they have resorts that fit everyone's budget. Hotels are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe levels. Value is sort of the Walt Disney way of saying inexpensive, but visitors will not be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are clean and comfortable. Moderate hotels are definitely nicer, offering slightly larger rooms and full service dining on the property.

Deluxe hotels at Walt Disney World are top-of-the-line accommodations built to satisfy and placate any customer. Some of the hotels such as the Contemporary Resort and Polynesian are on the elevated train, so you can simply ride to Epcot without having a car or taking a bus. Rooms are much bigger, and the Disney environment is of course magical.

How should you go about picking a Disney Hotel? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on presents or indulge yourself with the best, remember you are on holiday? Value options like the Disney Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $70 to $130 per night, while Deluxe Hotel start at $250 and go up from there. As you can tell, if you extrapolate that by 5 to 9 days, you would end up spending thousands extra just for a better place.

The option is yours, but whatever you decide, you can be sure Disney World employees will work hard to be sure you and your family have a great visit.
