One of my favorite things to do is picking the place that I will call home during my stay at Disney World. With over 20 resorts on property to choose from, there is something for everyone in just about every price point. There are also a number of hotels just on the border of Disney World which can be a great alternative. But, since this is about Disney World, I am going to focus on the Disney resorts themselves.

There are four categories of resort at Walt Disney World and they are:

• Economy Resorts
• Intermediate Resorts
• Luxury Resorts
• Home away from Home Resorts

The Economy resorts are the budget resorts on the Disney property. They range in price from under $100 per night to just under $200 per night. Their basic amenities include a food court, shopping area, and themed pools. All resorts offer bus service to and from the theme parts approximately every half hour. These work well if all you really need is a clean bed and bathroom to rest after a long day.

The Intermediate resorts are a small step up from the economy resorts. Some of them offer full-service restaurants. Other than that, they offer all the same ammenities as the economy rooms.

The luxury resorts are the cream of the crop at Disney World. They offer various amenities and experiences depending on their location. They generally have more options in eating places, transportation, and outdoor activities. The prices in this category vary greatly depending on accomodations and their location at the resort.

Lastly, there are the “Home away from Home” resorts. These resorts give you all the comforts of home while away such as kitchenettes or full size kitchen and dedicated bedrooms. If your looking for camping accommodations, they fall into this category as well. This category technically falls into the luxury category as they offer all the amenities as the luxury resorts. The Disney Vacation Club Resorts fall into this category although they are not considered resorts but rather vacation villas.

No matter which category of resort you choose, you will be made to feel special while visiting at Disney. You might find that your vacation ends up being the same no matter what resort you choose.
