Disney World Vacation Tips

Disney Tip of the Day

As fun as going to Disney is, it is also a high energy, marathon vacation, especially if traveling with children. From the moment you step out of your hotel room, until you put your head on your pillow at night, you will be standing, waiting, walking, waiting, eating, waiting...well you get the idea. There is alot of hurry up and wait, however with proper planning you can also have a great time.

Should you stay on Disney property? Well it is more expensive, but for our family it is worth it. After staying at some of the different hotels in the area nothing compares to staying on Disney property. For some people, the convenience of Disney transportation is the allure (for us, waiting for buses means, more waiting so we opt for our own transportation), but I think its the quality of the stay that makes it worthwhile for us. All of the resorts are themed in one way or another, from the most expensive to the economy, each resort has themed decor throughout the lobby and rooms, pools, restaurants and gift shops. Here is a rundown of a few of the options available!

Disney's Pop Century Resort: Themed for all of decades of the century, the Pop Century resort experience is great fun and a very affordable, family friendly option. Everywhere you look in the resort, you will find items to inspire nostalgia. From the rubix cube shaped stairwells in the 80's building to Mr and Mrs Potato Head statues in the walk ways, there is fun around every corner.

Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge: This African inspired themed resort is a deluxe resort and priced accordingly. The beauty of this resort is the animals! Looking out your resort room window at any given time, you will see zebras, giraffes, buffalo, antelope and more. It is an amazing experience. Additional seating areas feature rocking chairs to sit and enjoy the view no matter where you happen to be in the resort.

Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resort: Themed for the New England Seashore, this classy, deluxe resort offers some great amenities including a beautiful sandy pool. Within walking distance of the Boardwalk Resort and Epcot there is plenty to do and see right outside you room! Be sure to take in a clambake at the Cape May to fully experience the New England shore.
