Walt Disney World Resorts Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Each of Disney’s 25 resorts are individually themed and budgeted for your vacation. With so many choices, it is hard to pick out just one hotel or resort that I find to be the "highlight" of them all. I think that with each vacation to the Walt Disney World Resort, I bring home a special moment. To make your own special moments, you first need to think about why you are going; is this a trip for your kids, or is it just the two of you? Making this decision will set the pace for your entire vacation. Will you select a resort that is geared more towards the family and close to the Theme Parks, or will you take the leisurely route and find the resort that has the best amenities to offer? ...Read More

Hotel | "Value Resort - Disney's All Star Music Resort"

Quote:
This resort is ranked #61 out of 281 resorts in the Orlando area on TripAdvisor.com. As I toured the resort, I noticed  the All-Star Music Resort offers it’s guests the opportunity to live life to the beat of a different drum. One of the exciting options I found was that guests can stay in one of five musical themed areas: Broadway, Country, Jazz, Rock n’ Roll, and Calypso. These five areas make up the 1,920 standard guest rooms at the resort. Each 260 square feet room offers two double beds, a small table and chairs, and a bathroom with a vanity area and sink.

This resort is ranked #30 out of the 281 resorts in the Orlando area on TripAdvisor.com. As are all guests of All-Star Movie Resort, I was encouraged to walk amongst the larger than life Disney stars of the silver screen.As with the other All-Star resorts, the one feature I liked about this resort was the ability to stay in one of five different Disney classic, movie-themed areas: Toy Story, The Mighty Ducks, 101 Dalmatians, Fantasia, and The Love Bug. These five areas make up the 1,920 standard guest rooms of the All-Star Movies Resort.

This resort is ranked #80 out of the 281 resorts in the Orlando area on TripAdvisor.com. At the All-Star Sports Complex, I didn’t have to sit on the sidelines or watch the game from the room; here I felt as though I was part of the action.Just like the other two All-Star Resorts, Sports Complex guests can enjoy their stay in one of five themes based on, what else, sports! Baseball, football, tennis, surfing, and basketball are the themes that make up the 1,920 standard guest rooms of the All-Star Sports Complex. Each 260 sq. ft. room offers two double beds, a small table and chairs, and a bathroom with a vanity area and sink. They can accommodate up to four guests and a child under the age...Read More

Hotel | "Value Resort - Disney's Pop Century Resort"

Quote:
This resort is ranked #13 out of the 281 resorts in the Orlando area on TripAdvisor.com. While touring Disney’s Pop Century Resort, I found that guests do not have to sit back and dream of the popular icons of their past, but instead they can step back in time experience them for real.Like the other value resorts, the Pop Century offers accommodations in five-themed areas: the 1950’s, the 1960’s, the 1970’s, the 1980’s, and the 1990’s. Each themed area pays tribute to the popular icons of their perspective times. The Pop Century is the largest value resort, and has a total of 2,880 rooms. Each room offers two double beds, a small table and chairs, and a bathroom with a vanity area and sink...Read More

DISNEY MODERATE RESORTSI know I have said this before, but before you make a decision as to which Disney Resort category is best for your vacation, you should take a moment and review what each category has to offer.

The purpose of this particular journal is to give my readers the understanding of the differences between the Disney Resorts.

DISNEY DELUXE RESORTSI know that this is where you are going to say "I have read this paragraph before" (this is also where the IgoUgo editors tell me that I will get more readers if I do not use the same material in multiple entries). However, I can not stress it enough; before you make your decision as to which Disney Resort category is best for your families vacation, you should take a moment and review what each and every category has to offer. When you do, you will be shocked to see that there are considerable differences between the locations, as well as the amenities offered within each resort category. (And after you read all about them and become an expert, ...Read More
