Walt Disney World is an exciting place! But it can also be exhausting there are so many places to walk and attractions to ride. So its important to find the best hotel accommodation to retire to at the end of the day. There are three options. If you want to be in the middle of all the Disney World adventure, a Disney World Hotel is your best bet. Some of Disney Worlds best entertainment, dining, and shopping will be in walking distance of your hotel. These hotels come with nifty perks: complimentary transportation, advance tee times on all five Disney golf courses, availability of park tickets in each hotel, and priority seating arrangements at every Disney dinner show and restaurant. But if you dont mind staying at a hotel not owned by Disney, you can still stay on site. On-site hotels are located on Disney properties but arent operated or owned by Disney. Still, they run private busses and are located near the Downtown Disney Complex. Some of these hotels are even close to Disney-MGM Studios and Epcot and even participate with the Disney Transportation system. On-site accommodations like this are really in the same category as Disney owned and operated hotels, as they are expensive and convenient but promotional discounts and rates are frequently offered. Off-site hotels are located outside Disney properties and there are hundreds to choose from; many surround the resort. Prices and quality vary. Usually you can save a lot of money when you opt out on a Disney or on-site hotel and if you research your options well, you can find a quality place to stay for excellent value. A majority of these hotels offer discounts and sometimes members of organizations like the American Automobile Association (AAA) and the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) are granted special rates. Local, state and federal government employees, and sometimes even government contractors, can also receive discounts just make sure that if this is the case for you, you bring a form of identification. Of course the same applies for retired and active duty military personnel. However, if you want to get special deals like this, you will have to take your own initiative and ask about them. During the off-season, there are wonderful deals for the on-site and off-site hotels not owned by Disney, but several of these hotels have great discounts that last the entire year. Whatever your budget, there is a fitting accommodation for you and your fellow travelers. |
