Hotels

Disney offers Value, Moderate, Deluxe and Deluxe Villa accommodations.  On this page you will find a list of the different hotels in each category.  Out of each category, I will highlight my top choice for families with small children.

Value Resorts:
****This is my choice for Value Resorts. If you have small children, they will enjoy all of the huge statues of Disney characters throughout the resort.  This Resort offers two pools (no hot tubs), a jogging trail, an arcade, a playground and movies under the stars.



  • Art of Animation- For the price of a family suite here, larger families will get the most bang for their buck by renting vacation club points. For example: If you are a family of 5 (three children), you will need a family suite. Studios only sleep 4. The Disney room only rack rate for 7 nights May 5th-May 12th 2014 is $2659.00. To rent vacation points for the same dates for a value view 1 bedroom villa at Animal Kingdom Lodge is $2338.00. You are saving $321.00and you will be staying at a Deluxe resort, that is 100% nicer!
Moderate Resorts:
**** This is my choice for Moderate Resorts. This is a sprawling, luscious, tropical setting. The main pool offers a separate water play pirate ship, for smaller kids. It also has two waterslides and two hot tubs. Each "Island" has it's own quiet pool and it's own white sand beach with hammocks. This resort also offers Bike rentals, fishing, boat rentals and a playground. The children's meals at the food court are served in a pail with a shovel. This is great, while you relax on a hammock, the kids can dig and build sand castles. This Resort also offers movies under the stars, campfire with marshmallow roasts and multiple pool side activities. The rooms now sleep 5 with 2 queen beds and a pull down bed.




Deluxe Resorts:
****This is my choice for Deluxe Resorts. This resort is within walking distance to Epcot and Hollywood Studios. The feature is priceless with little kids! It boasts one of the best pools, Stormalong Bay. It also offers Volleyball, Tennis, Bike rentals, Boats rentals, Fishing, Campfires with Marshmallow roasts, movies under the stars, Pirate Adventure Cruise , Sandcastle Club, an arcade, a playground, and plenty of dining options. I would only recommend this resort if you rent Disney Vacation Club Points. We rent points from David's Vacation Club Rentals. Otherwise, it is ridiculously expensive.  For example: Disney's rack rate ( from Disney's website) for a 7 night stay from May 5th- May 12th 2014, 2 adults and 2 kids, studio room $4703.00. Rental price for the same visit $1680.00. That is a $3023.00 savings for the hotel room. This is for a studio villa.  This studio has a kitchenette. It does not get daily housekeeping services. Housekeeping will come every 4 days. It is worth saving that much money!


Deluxe Villas:
  • The Deluxe Villas are family suites offered at the Deluxe Resorts
  • I would only recommend these Villas if you rent Disney Vacation Club Points. We rent points from David's Vacation Club Rentals. Otherwise, it is ridiculously expensive.
