Disney World is unarguably the largest family vacation destination in the United States. Super Bowl winners want to go there, kids want to go there, adults want to go there – heck, MY GRANDMA wants to go there! Can the everyday family afford to go to Disney World on a limited budget? YOU BET!
There are many options for you to consider on a Disney vacation. We’ll present as many of them to you as possible.
The obvious first choice is to stay on the property for maximum convenience and fun. At the time of this writing, the theme park is currently offering the following packages for a six night, seven day stay for a family of four:
- $1,500 for a stay at a value category resort
- $1,900 for a stay at a moderate category resort
- $2,500 for a stay at a deluxe category resort
The value category resorts include All-Star Sports and All-Star Music hotels with the entire resort centering around those themes. They are fun for the kids and have themed pools and food courts. The rooms are standard, but comfortable and accommodate four people easily.
When we visited Disney World with our two children, we stayed at the All-Star Music resort and were very satisfied with everything they had to offer us. We were, after all, there to visit the parks, so our room was just a place to lay our heads. However, when the kids wanted to swim, we were happy to sip a tropical drink at the poolside bar while the kids splashed and played just a few feet away.
The moderate category resorts offer more amenities than the value priced ones. These resorts include the Caribbean Beach resort, Coronado Springs resort, and Port Orleans.
These resorts offer themed pools, full service dining areas, whirlpools, and watercraft rentals since most of these resorts are on the various lakes the property has.
