Saving money when you go to Walt Disney World probably seems to be a contradiction, but with a little smart planning and preparation, you can have a great trip to Florida without running up a huge credit card debt.

The DisneyWorld Resort is absolutely huge, covering nearly 50 total miles just outside Kissimmee, Florida. There are four gigantic theme areas, Epcot, MGM, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. With so much to see, tourists usually spend at least a week just to take it all in. Disney World has constructed more than 12 hotels just to take care of everyone visiting the parks.

Fortunately, Disney executives recognize that folks are looking for different options when going to Orlando. Because of this, they have hotels that fit every budget. Resorts are classified into Value, Moderate, and Deluxe classifications. Value is sort of the Disney way of saying inexpensive, but you will not be let down, as the Disney Value hotels are nice and comfortable. Moderate resorts are one step up, promising slightly larger rooms and full-service, sit down restaurants on the property.

Deluxe hotels at Disney are top-of-the-line accommodations built to satisfy and placate any visitor. Many of the resorts such as the Grand Floridian and Yacht Club are along the monorail, so guests can simply ride to the Magic Kingdom without using a car or taking a bus. Guest accommodations are much bigger, and the Disney World experience is of course magical.

How should you go about picking a Disney Hotel? Well would you rather spend your hard earned cash on souvenirs or pamper your family with the best, remember you are on holiday? Value rooms like the Pop Century Hotel can cost anywhere from $80 to $140 a night, while top end Hotel start from $250 and go higher from there. As you can see, if you multiply that by 5 to 9 nights, you could end up spending thousands extra just for a better place.

The choice belongs to the visitor, but no matter what you pick, tourists will be sure Disney World employees will work hard to make sure you and your family have a good time on your trip away from home.
