Where To Stay When Going To WDW

Where to stay when going to Disney World is always a perplexing question for people.  I have tried to help many people arrange their vacations over the past few years.  Being an “Expert Disney Vacationer” I feel that the knowledge I have is valuable to many.

I have steered people to homes for rent, Disney resorts, and even “stone throw distance” hotels.  I have found the later to be more economical, but the experience of staying on grounds in Disney World is hard to achieve unless you are there.

If you are on a budget, then I suggest the All Star hotels, or even Fort Wilderness.  Fort Wilderness has campsites, and camper sites, as well as cabins.  If you want the “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” trip, then stay at the Grand Floridian.

I personally can state that I am done with the routine paying vacation.  I purchased Disney Vacation Club, and have found that I have actually saved a considerable amount of money in comparison to nightly pay resorts.  Disney Vacation Club is not a “Oridinary Timeshare.”  The DVC is a totally unique way of vacationing your way.

You initially purchase points that are good for a specified amount of years.  Those points can be used to make as many vacations as you have points.  You can “Bank” your points forward up to one year, or “Borrow” from up to one year forward.  We have been using our DVC membership to the best of our capabilities.  If you want to know more, then click HERE, and a DVC representative will send you some info.

    ShadowWind…We stayed in All Stars for many years.  We loved it.  Getting DVC was a big money saver as far as I am concerned.  Which link are you referring to?

    I am a big fan myself of Pop Century resort, also in the budget hotels. I grew up in the 70,80,90′s, so I get big kick out of the retro scenery.

    I agree with staying on Disney property to get the full effect. We used to stay off site and didn’t get the reason people would pay so much more, until one time we did stay there, and never went back to the outside places. Often you can find various codes to give also to save money at the resorts, especially for seniors, AAA members, Floridians, and Military at places like MouseSavers.

    DVC is a good deal for those able to upfront the cash for their future vacations. And they also have methods for being able to “rent” out your points for a year if you can’t make it which is a good for a bit of cash if you need it one year.

    I always laugh though when I see their ad, “If you believe in magic, you belong…” They forgot the * after magic that should read “and you have lots of disposable income”.

    BTW, your link for the DVC doesn’t come up as a link, at least not in Opera.
