Hi, Sharon!
I am a big fan of Disney's Value Resorts. These hotels provide families with clean rooms, fun pool areas, huge food courts, and that awesome Disney energy 24/7. All for a value price!
Disney's Art of Animation is the newest Value Resort (2012). This resort offers standard rooms as well as Family Suites that sleep up to 6 guests. This is a very popular choice for guests because of its fun themes of Cars, Finding Nemo, Little Mermaid, and Lion King. It is fun to roam this resort to explore all the larger than life décor.
Disney's Pop Century is just across Hourglass Lake from Art of Animation. While this resort is a bit older (2003), it is currently undergoing complete room renovations. Some guest rooms are completed. Refurbished rooms have hardwood style flooring, a queen bed and a murphy bed. Guests are raving about the new design of these rooms. All rooms should be completed sometime in 2018.
Now do not overlook the All-Stars! While a while since any refurbs, I stayed at
Sports a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. My room was very clean, and the all white linens gave the room a very clean and fresh feeling. It was a great deal and value for a very nice room.
Have fun deciding on the perfect resort hotel room for your vacation to Walt Disney World!
