Greetings, Merry Travelers! A stay on Disney property is simply the thing to do. Disney is all about telling a story, painting a picture, and creating a unique experience just for you. Each resort is crafted meticulously, immersing you in a tale beyond compare. The perks you'll find are quite grand, offering more than what you'd get off-site!
With over 25 resorts to choose from, the decision can be overwhelming. But fear not; I'm here to guide you through. Remember, the story behind each resort will give you a clue!
Disney has neatly sorted its resorts into four categories: value, moderate, deluxe, and villas, each with its own magic. The pricing follows suit, with value being the most cost-effective option.
Let's start with the value resorts. They offer standard rooms of about 260 square feet, a basic bath setup, and bedding options of two doubles or a king. These resorts feature themed pools but no slides. Dining options are limited to a food court or pool bar. Transportation is usually by bus, but Art of Animation and Pop Century offer the added convenience of the Skyliner.
Includes: All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, All-Star Sports, Art of Animation, Pop Century, and Campsites at Fort Wilderness.

Next, we have the moderate resorts, a step above in terms of amenities. These rooms are about 300 square feet and offer additional dining and recreation options. Some resorts even provide boat transportation to Disney Springs.
Includes: Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans French Quarter, Port Orleans Riverside, and Cabins at Fort Wilderness.

Moving on to the deluxe resorts, where luxury meets excitement, these rooms range from 344 to 440 square feet and feature pools with slides, hot tubs, and more dining options. These resorts are conveniently located close to the parks and offer a variety of transportation options, including buses, the Skyliner, boats, walking paths, and monorails.
Includes: Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club, BoardWalk Inn, Contemporary, Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, Polynesian Village, Wilderness Lodge, and Yacht Club.

Lastly, the villas are a special treat for those looking for a more luxurious experience. These are part of the Disney Vacation Club and offer villa-style rooms with amenities to adore. They range from studios to three bedrooms and are similar to the deluxe resorts but with added grandeur.
Includes: Bay Lake Tower at the Contemporary, Boulder Ridge Villas at Wilderness Lodge, Copper Creek Villas and Cabins at Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Villas at Jambo House and Kidani Village, Beach Club Villas, BoardWalk Villas, Old Key West, Polynesian Villas and Bungalows, Riviera Resort, Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, Villas at Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

So, Merry Travelers, evaluate with care and choose based on what your family can bear. Think of the story that resonates true, whether it's animation, Caribbean, or something new. With this guide and a story in mind, you're on your way to finding your perfect resort!
