Walt Disney World Resorts- Where to Stay for Your Budget

I freely admit that when it comes to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, I'm just a big kid.  Having vacationed at Walt Disney World nearly two dozen times over the past 25 years, I can assure you that selecting the right Disney World resort for your tastes and budget can make a huge difference in your overall enjoyment of the trip.  There are so many wonderful resorts in Walt Disney World, it's easy to become torn on where to stay.  As someone who has stayed at most of the resorts at Walt Disney World, I can help you sort through the pros and cons of each, and guide you in making the perfect selection for you and your guests.  

While there may be less expensive motels in Orlando outside the Walt Disney World area, I highly recommend that you first consider staying on Walt Disney World property in order to take advantage of all Walt Disney World has to offer.  For one, all Walt Disney World resorts offer guest transportation.  Whether it's by bus or the magnificent Disney monorail, Disney's transportation system is very efficient, and it's a convenience you probably won't want to do without.  The Walt Disney resorts also offer to their guests Extra Magic Hours, in which one of the Disney Theme Parks opens an hour early or stays open up to an extra three hours after regular Park closing, so guests (and only guests) of Disney Resorts have the opportunity to enjoy the Park's attractions largely without the lines that plague attractions during regular Park hours.  

Once you've decided to stay in Walt Disney World at one of Disney's fabulous resorts, your next decision (which one to stay at) will depend largely on your budget.  Disney resorts can be pricey, some starting at $359 per night.  The most costly of Disney's resorts are classified as their Deluxe Resorts.
