Disney orlando holidays are one of the most popular holiday packages that we book here at the house of travel. With a plethora of so many hotel options available there is surely something that will fit you and your family.
When it comes to the different resorts that are offered at Disney World, you’ll find that there are three different categories: Deluxe, Moderate, and Value. If you are coming a long distance such as from the UK, you may need to keep an eye on how much you spend and one question you might ask is are Disney value resorts worth it? If you can’t afford something as elaborate as their Deluxe resorts, their Value resorts can still give you that unique opportunity of staying on a Disney property that’s linked to their magical theme parks.
The Disney Experience
Even though a Value resort at Disney won’t save you as much money as staying some place off property, most who have stayed off property agree that they really missed out by staying off the Disney property because even their Value resorts will still give you that full “Disney experience”. So, the answer to your question about if it’s worth it or not to stay at a Value resort would be yes.
Nice Benefits
If you don’t care all that much about themes, you’ll still like the benefits that come with the different resorts. One key benefit is that no matter what on-site resort you stay at you will get “Extra Magic Hours” and you’ll also get unlimited use of their transportation system, which makes it extremely easy to get around all of the different theme parks.
Not All That Fancy
If you’re looking for fancy rooms and places to eat, you won’t find this by staying at a Value resort because the hotel rooms aren’t fancy, and yest they are small compared to the Moderate and Deluxe resorts, however, they are cute and clean. Maybe the water pressure isn’t as good and the towels aren’t worth sneaking home with you, but for the prices you have to pay compared to the other resorts, these Value resorts are well worth it.
If you truly want to vacation at Disney World and you are on a budget, then their Value resorts are the best way to go.
