7. Different Levels

The twenty plus Disney Resorts are broken down into price categories which make it easy for guests with budgets in mind to make a selection. Disney Resorts are broken down into three categories with Deluxe being the most expensive, Value having the best deals, and Moderate falling somewhere in between.

Some Deluxe Disney Resorts include Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Moderate Resorts include Disney’s Port Orleans French Quarter Resort and Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Value options include Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

6. Incredible Themes

Each Disney Resort is intricately themed on a specific place in tie or location. Guests who stay at a Disney Resort are fully immersed in amazing details and themes which make them feel as though they have been transported to another world. Depending on which resort a Disney insider chooses, they can be transported to turn of the century Atlantic City, New Orleans’ French Quarter, the savannahs of Africa, the South Pacific, and even the middle of a Disney animated film! With so many amazing themes to enjoy, guests will be sure to love trying different Disney Resorts on each visit.

5. Amazing Pools

Every Disney Resort is home to at least one pool that is sure to have guests both enjoying the fun and feeling relaxed.

4. Disney’s Magical Express

One of the biggest perks that Disney insiders love about staying on property at a Walt Disney World Resort is using Disney’s Magical Express. When arriving at the airport, guests need only find the Disney’s Magical Express location and board a bus to be whisked away to the start of their vacation. Guests don’t even need to be worried about their baggage as Disney picks it up from the airport and delivers it to their resort room later that day. When the vacation is over, guests can check in with TSA, drop off their bags, and receive their boarding passes at their resort. When the time comes to head to the airport, guests board another Disney’s Magical Express bus and are dropped off right in the main terminal of the airport.
