Hello TourGuideMike!! Just
returned from a fabulous time in WDW. I had to tell you we took your advice
and you were right on the mark! We walked on all rides at MK!! What fun!
We did Buzz Lightyear and Astro Orbiter 2 times each before the crowds
arrived. Thanks to you we had a great week - I'll recommend you to all
our friends! Thanks again!

Walt Disney World's Value-category resort hotels are proof that less money does not mean less of their famous theming or service! All three of Disney's All-Star Resorts combine the expected cleanliness, beautiful grounds, great pools, on-site convenience, and friendly cast members with an affordable nightly rate.
The Walt Disney World Moderate-category Resorts combine value and luxury in one successful mix. You find more recreational activities and fancier 'trimmings' when compared to the Value Resorts. They also have exterior room access, but feature slightly larger rooms and slide-equipped pools. (We know the latter is always a hit with the kids!)
Aaaah … the luxuries of life! Everyone wants to be pampered for a while don’t they? All of the Deluxe-category Resorts at Walt Disney World are impressively themed in every possible detail! They feature interior room access, balconies, beautiful views, available concierge service, queen beds, multi-bedroom suites, and some of the best dining and recreation choices on property!
Do you need a little more room? Would you rather have your own kitchen and living room? Disney’s Vacation Club, Disney's version of vacation time share, provides their Deluxe Villa Resorts with all the comforts of home. Move in for a while and stretch out! Now you only have to choose between a studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, or 3-bedroom floor plan!
Would you prefer a more rustic vacation experience? Need a little more room, or would you rather have your own kitchen? Disney’s campgrounds or cabins may be for you! Enjoy a wilderness getaway with cozy campsites or, if you prefer, roomy air-conditioned cabins. Check it out!
These three hotels, while not owned or operated by Disney, offer on-site accommodations and numerous unique Walt Disney World benefits. They are all conveniently located: The Swan & Dolphin in the Epcot area, and Shades of Green across from the Polynesian.
The seven Downtown Disney resort hotels are conveniently located right on Disney property, and very close to the exciting shopping and dining opportunities of the Downtown Disney district. They also provide complimentary transportation to all of the Disney theme parks!
