Disney Resorts

So, you’ve made up your mind to finally take that long awaited vacation and take your family to Walt Disney World. The big question now is, “where to stay”. Do you stay on property at one of the many resorts at Disney World, or do you make a reservation at one of the surrounding hotels, motels, or timeshares for rent. There are many options, but what will be best for you and your family, and still be cost effective?

If you are thinking about staying at one of Disney’s resorts, there are many to choose from with different price ranges. All of the resorts are grouped around the different parks. It’s the park the resorts are closest to. For the purpose of this blog, I am going to start with the cheaper (Value Resorts) and go up in price from there.

There are five different Value Resorts to choose from. Around Animal Kingdom, there are three Value resorts. They are called All-Star Resorts. One of the cheaper All-Star resorts is All-Star Music which is themed around popular music genres, such as country, jazz, rock-n-roll, calypso, and Broadway. This is the music lovers dream because of the large sized music inspired icons located around the outside if the resort and song and dance surprises inside. There is even a guitar shaped pool with a fountain of the Three Caberellos featuring Donald Duck.

The next All-Star resort is All-Star Movies. This resort is themed around Disney movies. Outside there are gigantic dotted pups from 101 Dalmatians and Andy’s playful toys from Toy Story. The main pool of this resort is Fantasia themed with a huge Sorcerer Mickey as the focal point.

There is even a resort for the sports fan in the family called All-Star Sports. It’s the more expensive of the three All-Stars. This resort salutes the world of competitive sports, including baseball, football, surfing, tennis, and basketball. Here you can celebrate your inner fan amongst the sporty décor starring some favorite Disney characters. The main recreational area features a pool with surfboards lining the outside parameter

Everyone knows Wide World of Sports. But did you know that it is also an area of Disney? Here you will find two resorts: Pop Century and Art of Animation. First off is Pop Century. This resort takes you back in time to the 1950s and into the 1990s. You will find some things you might have forgotten that had been born during those years. You will find yo-yos, Play-doh, a giant Rubik’s Cube, and rollerblades. Not to mention a big Mickey Mouse phone and a huge foosball court you can run through.

Art of Animation is the newest of the value resorts, and is mainly focused on families. The rooms are mostly suites with only one area that has standard rooms. It is also the most expensive of the value resorts. Here you will be immersed in Disney animations. The façade of the building is decorated in scenes from some of your favorite films, like Finding Nemo, Cars, The Little Mermaid, and The Lion King. This resort also houses the largest resort pool inspired by Finding Nemo. Two other pools are laid out around the resort that are inspired by The Little Mermaid and Cars.

As I mentioned, these are just the Value resorts at Walt Disney World. These resorts are mainly focused around children, but aren’t we all kids when it comes to vacationing at Disney. Up next, I will go through the Moderate Resorts. These are a little more expensive, but they are also themed around something related to Disney.

Stay tuned…
