8. Pick The Right Resort —

Guests who are looking to choose the right Disney Resort might be a little intimidated when they realize that there are so many options to choose from. The best way to make the decision a little easier is by determining a budget for the vacation and knowing how much guests are willing to spend on each night of the trip. With that number in mind, guests can then choose one of the three price categories to consider further. Disney Resorts are broken down into three price categories with Deluxe being the most expensive, Value having the best deals, and Moderate falling in the middle. Once guests decide on a budget, they can then pick the correct Disney Resort category for them and choose between only a handful of options.

7. Consider Size —

Once guests choose a certain Disney Resort price category to enjoy, they might also want to consider resort size. Guests who are looking to enjoy a more compact Disney Resort where they are close to the lobby, pool, dining, and bus stop at the same time might want to consider Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort and guests who are looking to enjoy a sprawling Disney Resort with plenty of lush grounds and beautiful areas might look at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort.

Disney pros know to not overlook the dining options offered at Disney Resorts as many of them are some of the most delicious options on property. Guests who are looking to enjoy a full service meal should consider ‘Ohana, California Grill, 1900 Park Fare, Artist’s Point, Boatwright’s Dining Hall, and Olivia’s Café. Those who are looking for a faster quick service meal should check out Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory, Capt. Cook’s, The Mara, Pepper Market, and Roaring Fork.

5. Know How To Get Around —

4. Know Where You Want To Stay —

While guests might know which Disney Resort they want to stay at, a great way to ensure that their stay is perfect is by knowing exactly where they would like their room to be located. Guests should be sure to consult a map of their Disney Resort and decide whether it is worth paying an extra fee for a room with a view that will guarantee them to be in a certain area.
