Creator's Key Takeaways

Overwhelmed and stressed and anxious to the max. That's not how you should feel about choosing your Disney World hotel.

The prices for Disney hotels are broken up into three different categories. Value resorts are going to be your most affordable option.

Animal Kingdom Lodge is a deluxe level resort that celebrates the art and culture of Africa through its dining and architecture and four unique savas.

If you stay at any of the deluxe Disney resorts, including the Marriott owned Swan and Dolphin Hotel, you'll get the added extended evening hours benefit.
