Which Walt Disney World hotel is the best?

Answer 1

It depends on what kind of experience you want, as well as the needs of your party.

If you know you want to visit one particular park, it helps to stay at one of the resorts in that area. For example, it is easiest to get to Magic Kingdom from the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, or Polynesian. Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios are most easily accessed from the Boardwalk, Beach Club, Yacht Club, Swan or Dolphin. The Animal Kingdom Lodge is closest to Disney's Animal Kingdom.

If you are traveling with a large group, you may want to stay at one of the All-Star Music 's family suites. You can also get a multi-room villas at Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, Wilderness Lodge, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Boardwalk, or Beach Club. The villas have the added advantage of including a kitchenette, which can save you money if you wish to prepare meals in your room rather than going out to eat.

Each Walt Disney World hotel has a specific theme, some of which may appeal to your party more than others. The Grand Floridian, for example, is themed around old-fashioned Victorian elegance and is a favorite of couples (especially honeymooners). The Caribbean Beach and Coronado Springs hotels are much more family-friendly (and in the mid-range price category) and feature pools and playgrounds. The All-Star hotels and Pop Century are the least expensive and best-suited for people who really only need to be in their room to sleep. Fort Wilderness is great for lovers of the great outdoors, and the resort offers hiking trails and horseback riding.
