Hey there, hi there, Gary! You're as welcome as can be here at planDisney!
I could not be more excited to see you here with such a great planning question, and I love that you're answering the call of the magic and planning your pixie-dusted adventure at
Walt Disney World Resort. And since you are planning on staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, it sounds as if your planning is off to a practically perfect start. Disney magic is
not limited to the theme parks. The storytelling, theming and magic can be seen and felt throughout every single Disney Resort hotel, and I love dining, swimming and enjoying my Disney Resort hotel as much as (if not more than!) I enjoy playing in the theme parks. I'm thrilled to help you choose your own adventure!
There is a perfect magical home away from home for
everyone. Start by considering what is most important to you and your travel party. Do you need to accommodate a large group? Check out the Family Suites at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort or the
Deluxe Villas. Are you most interested in close proximity to the theme parks? Then, I would recommend a Resort hotel in the Magic Kingdom Resort Area or EPCOT Resort Area, such as
Disney's Contemporary Resort,
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort,
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa,
Disney's BoardWalk Inn,
Disney's Beach Club Resort, or
Disney's Yacht Club Resort, just to name a few. Do you want to be immersed in incredible theming? I recommend (and
love)
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge. Looking for the most magic for your money? Check out the awesome
Value Resort hotels.
I definitely recommend that you start exploring the
planDisney Pocket Guides for awesome information on location, theming, dining and more for each Resort. Also, be sure to listen to the
planDisney Podcast: Tips for Selecting your Next Disney Resort! Once you have an idea of what type of adventure is the adventure of your dreams,
check for availability, book your magical vacation and start your pixie-dusted countdown!
Gary, if you have any questions at all about the Disney Resort hotels or which one may be best for you and your travel party, please feel free to stop by any time with any questions! You've got a friend in me!
Adventure is out there!
