How to Save When Visiting Disney World

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

The Walt Disney World Resort is definitely huge, covering nearly 49 square miles just outside Kissimmee, Florida. There are four gigantic amusement parks, Epcot, MGM, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so many things to see, tourists usually spend at least a week just to see everything. Disney has constructed more than 10 resorts just to take care of everyone visiting the area.

Obviously, Disney recognizes that people are searching for different options when visiting the area. For this reason, they have hotels that fit everyone's budget. Hotels are separated into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe levels. Value is sort of the Walt Disney way of saying inexpensive, but visitors will not be disappointed, as the Disney Value resorts are nice and comfortable. Moderate resorts are definitely nicer, offering slightly larger living areas and full service dining on site.

Deluxe resorts at Disney World are full service accommodations built to satisfy and pamper any visitor. Many of the resorts such as the Contemporary Resort and Polynesian are along the elevated train, so you can simply ride to the Magic Kingdom without having a car or taking a bus. Rooms are much bigger, and the Disney experience is of course magical.

So how do you decide which resort to stay at? Well would you rather use your money on presents or indulge yourself with the best, remember you are on vacation? Value rooms like the Pop Century Hotel can cost somewhere from $65 to $110 a night, while top end Hotel start from $200 and go up from there. As you can see, if you multiply that by 6 to 9 days, you could end up spending hundreds extra just for a nicer room.

The choice belongs to the visitor, but whatever you pick, tourists can be sure Disney World employees will work hard to make sure you and your family have a good visit on your trip away from home.
