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

The DisneyWorld Resort is absolutely huge, covering nearly 48 square miles just outside Orlando, Florida. There are four major theme areas, Epcot, MGM Studios, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so many things to see, visitors usually spend at least 7 days or more just to see everything. Disney World has constructed more than 12 hotels just to house visitors to the area.

Fortunately, Disney recognizes that folks are searching for different options when visiting the area. For this reason, they have resorts that fit every budget. Resorts are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying less expensive, but visitors will not be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are nice and comfortable. Moderate hotels are definitely nicer, promising slightly larger living areas and full service dining on the property.

Deluxe hotels at Disney World are top-of-the-line accommodations built to please and pamper any customer. Some of the resorts such as the Contemporary Resort and Polynesian are on the monorail, so guests can simply travel to Epcot without using a rental car or riding a bus. Rooms are also bigger, and the Disney experience is of course magical.

What then is the best way to pick a Disney World Resort? Well would you rather use your money on souvenirs or indulge your family with the best, remember you are on vacation? Value options like the Pop Century Hotel can cost somewhere from $65 to $140 a night, while top end Hotel start at $225 and go higher from there. As you can see, if you extrapolate that by 6 to 10 days, you would end up spending hundreds more just for a nicer place.

The choice belongs to the visitor, but no matter what you pick, you will be sure Disney World employees will do their best to make sure you and your family have a great visit on your trip away from home.
