DISNEY WORLD RESORT
Deluxe, Moderate And Value Disney Resorts In The
Walt Disney World
By: Valerie Tay
Where to stay when you are in Walt Disney World can be
tricky as there are almost 20 hotels that make up the Walt
Disney World Resort Hotel collection, not to mention the
array of accommodation out-of-the-World (i.e., off-property).
In this article, I’ll show you a sample of each type of
accommodation on-property.
On-site properties are categorized as Deluxe, Moderate and
Value Disney Resorts. The price range for each category is
as follows:
Deluxe Resorts $205 to $780
Moderate Resorts Rates $139 to $215
Value Resorts Rates $79 to $137
Walt Disney World Deluxe Resorts
Needless to say, hotels in the Deluxe category are for those
with deep pockets who want to experience the ultimate in
Disney luxury and style. The hotels in this category include
the Animal Kingdom Lodge, BoardWalk Inn, Contemporary,
Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Wilderness Lodge, Yacht Club
and Beach Club, and the Walt Disney World Swan and
Dolphin. Deluxe resorts offer:
- elaborately themed pools with waterslides,
- world class restaurants,
- room service,
- valet parking,
- whirlpools,
- babysitting,
- bell services,
- concierge, and
- fitness center/spa.
If you enjoy the lush setting of tropical South Pacific, you’ll
love the Disney's Polynesian Resort. On this resort, seven
villages along palm-lined pathways, a white-sand beach,
thatched roofs and a nightly Polynesian luau invoke the feel
of an island paradise. This resort is part of the Monorail
system and is considered part of the Magic Kingdom Resort
area because of its proximity to the Magic Kingdom theme
park. The 75 species of indigenous vegetation on the resort
will stir the plant lover within you.
Walt Disney World Moderate Resorts
There are a total of 4 moderately priced Disney resort,
namely, Caribbean Beach, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans
Riverside and Port Orleans French Quarter. These resorts
have the following amenities:
- full-service restaurants,
- food courts,
- room service,
- luggage service,
- swimming pools with a slide and hot tub,
- on-site recreation, and
- bus or boat transportation.
Named after the European explorer Francisco de Coronado,
the Coronado Springs Resort combines the beauty, fantasy
and unique cultural elements of colonial Spain, Mexico and
New Mexico. Accommodations come in the form of casitas
(little houses), which represent urban centers like Santa Fe
or Monterrey. The casitas are nestled amidst plazas,
fountains and palm-shaded courtyards.
The resort is built around Lake Lago Dorado, with a stepped
Mayan pyramid towering over the pool area. The grounds of
the casitas are decorated with lovely fountains and gardenia
bushes. Besides the casitas, there are also ranchos, which
are 2- and 3- story pueblo-style villas representing the rustic
charm of rural Spain.
A cool feature of the resort is that almost all throughout its
compound, you can look across water and see the other
areas.
Walt Disney World Value Resorts
Disney value resorts are for the budget conscious. They
include All-Star Movies, All-Star Music, All-Star Sports and
Pop Century. Each of these hotels has the following
amenities:
- food courts,
- pizza delivery,
- luggage service,
- swimming pools, and
- bus transportation.
The All-Star Sports is playfully themed around sports of
course, with sections centered around football, baseball,
tennis and basketball. The philosophy behind this resort is
bigger is better. You'll find bold and colorful pop art icons
such as a 4-story football helmet, giant "tennis ball can" and
megaphone-shaped stairwells.
The ambiance can get boisterous and fun because lots of
sports teams stay at this resort. All-Star Sports is a great way
to enjoy all the perks of staying on-property at WDW. You
can:
- use the excellent Disney bus system,
- have purchases made in the parks delivered to your resort,
- charge expenses to your room,
- enjoy Extra Magic Hour early entrance to one park each
day,
- count on assured entrance to the theme parks on crowded
days, and
- enjoy life-guarded pools.
