Walt Disney World Resort Hotels

Walt Disney World resort hotels can be a real bargain for your Disney vacation. The Disney resorts come in all themes and price ranges. From budget stays to top of the line luxury, there is a Disney resort hotel that is right for you!

But there are so many? Which one to choose, and what makes a Walt Disney World resort hotel better than one that is off the Disney grounds?

The biggest advantage to staying in a Disney resort is location is the Disney Magical Express service, if your are flying in. You get to bypass picking up your bags -- you go straight to the hotel and your bags are delivered to your room. For your return flight you can do your boarding pass and check in before you even leave the hotel. Now that is convenience!

Another advantage is the super-easy transportation between all the theme parks, as well as all the other Disney resort hotels. No parking or traffic worries!  I want to emphasize this -- the inter-park transportation was a life saver when I recently stayed in a Disney resort! The Disney road system is a maze (putting it mildly) and it doesn't take long to get lost.

Buses and water taxies run roughly every 20 minutes, starting about 45 minutes before the parks open and then to about an hour after the parks close. I don't think I ever had to wait longer than 5 or so minutes for a bus (although I may have gotten lucky).  And then there's the monorail for some of the resorts!

Let's take a closer look at the Walt Disney World resort hotels.

River Cruises

 In case you missed it,  Disney (Specifically Adventures By Disney)  is offering River Cruises in a partnership with Amawaterways.  Typically a vacation geared towards couples, Disney is “testing the waters” and marketing this newer type of cruising to families. Disney has partnered with Amawaterways,  which is building a new River boat with family needs factored into the design.  While not specifically built for Disney, this new boat will be able to accomodate families of 4 or 5, when the typical river cruise stateroom is designed for 2 or couples. There are also amenities geared towards children not normally found on a river cruise boat. River Cruises are different from ocean Cruises, in that the boats travel through…. Well… Rivers. These boats are not designed for ocean voyages, but calmer inland waterways. They are significantly smaller in size than their ocean dwelling brethren, which can carry thousands of passengers. The typical River Boat carries only 75 to 240 passengers. R
